Spider bite?

My leg after it started itching Friday night. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow if it's not better yet

Doesn't look as bad luckily but I'd rather be safe than sorry
 
White - Pus, usually means some tissue infection
Red - allergic reaction, irritation, may even mean extra blood is pushed to the area to help with healing.

Don't listen to our diagnosis, please go to the doctor.

Redness around the wound that continues to expand and worsen is a sign of wound infection. You can track whether redness is expanding by taking photos or drawing a line:

A wound which has become, or is becoming, infected may:
Become more painful, instead of gradually improving.
Look red around the skin edges. This red area may feel warm or hot.

Redness around a cut or scrape is a sign of healing, for example. But when that color persists or spreads significantly, it may have become infected.
