It does sound like could have been bitten by something like that. I've had spider bites swell up like that before, not fun at all.

were you anywhere that there could have been spiders?

If you do seek help, you could go to the ER. they have to treat you. you'll get a nice hefty bill at a later time.

if any of these sound like what you are going through, I'd make a trip to the doc or ER

It sounds like a brown recluse bit you.

A small white blister usually initially rises at the bite site surrounded by a swollen area. The affected area enlarges and becomes red, and the tissue is hard to the touch for some time.

you should see a doctor and you could be have gangren or if its badly infected or if the venom is concentrated you may need medical help to stop it from getting worse.
