GO TO THE DOCTOR NOW.
Went this morning, called for an appointment y-day and the got me in. Gave me a shot of heavy antibiotics and a prescription for more. Also got a tetanus shot to be safe.
Was not feeling good at all this morning. Hopefully the antibiotics will start working but am a little better I think.

Once on forearm in college.
Once on shin about 6 months ago. Both times big blister followed by necotic tissue then a marble sized hole. Antibiotics and keep it clean.

Got bit in Kroger by one 
I was in the middle of the isle and just felt a pain on my inner leg that I knew was a bite. I slapped my leg and felt it run down my pants. Caused me to jump up and slap my pants like 5 times. No idea if anybody was in the isle but I probably looked like a crazy person. Left my cart in the isle
Ran to the bathroom because it hurt like hell, pulled my pants down and a fairly large red ring had already formed.
By the next day my whole inner leg was black, blue, and purple. Went to the Dr. and he said it was probably a brown recluse and that the coloring was the poison. Never had a hole form though.

yep twice both times had high fever, swelling that killed skin turning it black and leaving a permanent hole in shin. Bite on back side not as severe. Both treated with antibiotics. Did not see either bite coming

I'm glad you went because I put off going to the doctor for over a week, it got infected and I had a 1.5" open sore of dead tissue and a 103 fever by the time I went in. People still ask me what kind of surgery I had on my leg because I have a wild scar from it.
