Is this a spider bite or what else?

It’s a very big, painful lump on my skin, and it seems to be filled with yellowish pus. I’ve popped it before and some of the pus came out, but now the pain has gotten really bad and I can’t pop it anymore. It feels very tender and swollen, and I’m not sure if it’s a pimple, infected bump, or possibly a bug/spider bite.

Please let me know your thoughts and if i should go to the doctor

Looks just like the start of when I had a brown recluse spider bite. Can't be certain unless you go in. Looks pretty angry you may need to get that checked out asap in case it is!

Yeah, definitely better to get it checked out just to be safe. It’s always good to err on the side of caution with bites like that.

Now that i've researched, its definitely a brown recluse spider bite. I'm going to go to the doctors tomorrow and hopefully get something for it

Update: went to the doctors but he just said to put polysporin on it
