I believe I have a spider bite...

How necessary is it to get it checked out?
Going on for a week or so. Initially red rash around bite. Itchy. Since then, the rash has faded. Bite spot more apparent.
I basically squeezed it to get any infection out. No pain. No Itchy. No swelling.
Looks like a circle ring around the bite mark now.
Am I going to lose my leg?

Did that. Terrified.
I think I bruised my leg. I was pushing hard.

It's just a bite now.
The rash is gone. Took a week.

I'd keep an eye on it. If its serious the ring will get bigger and blacker. Put some tobacco on it and suck on a D's.

Probably staph. Fo real

Had a brown recluse bite yrs ago. Felt crappy, same circle, black dot, went to the doc and took antibiotics. Cleared up in a day.

I let mine on my Achilles go,for about 5 days and the center became a crater. The doc gave me a strong antibiotic and it eventually healed. The skin in the area is still discolored after 6 months...

Do not listen to anyone on here trying to diagnose you without examining the wound. They have not a clue what they speak of. Go to a doc if it doesn't start getting better.
I had a similar incident. I even went to the doc after a couple of weeks and he even diagnosed me with a brown Recluse spider bite at first. It ended up being a rare form of leukemia. Go to the doc. I wouldn't be here if I didn't.

If Its been a week I think it'll be ok.

if the area around the bite got bruised, that sounds like a spider bite...
the "ring" that you mention does sound like lyme disease...have you found a tick on yourself recently?...
regardless, go and get checked by a doc, as lyme disease is easily curable but will really frick a person up if left undiagnosed...
