About 5-7 days old.
Started as a large pimple looking thing. Popped it and all kinds of yellow puss looking stuff came out. Crater growing in size. 
Sounds like the description on this site. A picture. |

I am no expert, but no, I don't think that is from a brown recluse. It could be from some other spider though. A brown Recluse bite would be much larger and nastier by now. I frequently work in attics and crawl spaces under homes, I have been biten by every bug known to man, with the exception of a brown recluse.
ETA: Also, what G21fans said, get it treated, if it hasn't started healing in a week, then it is likely going to keep getting worse. |

It looks very similar to the photograph...
Might be worth a trip to medical personnel to get it inspected. I hate spiders.  |

Try an imbedded redbug bite that you have scratched til you have irritated the site. Ive got one now in almost the same spot and its healing up now.

I don't know if it's a brown recluse. You should see a doctor. After you get back from the doctor, go to the gym and do some squats, girly man!!

Did you see a spider? Why would it be a spider bite?
Could it be MRSA? Sure, it could be that too, which is a hell of a lot more common and if anything more dangerous. Go to a doctor. |

I have heard that if you use a stun gun on the wound, it will neutralize the venom, and stop the necrosis.
in the interest of full disclosure, I am not an MD nor do I play one on the internet. But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

5-7 days old? I'd think not. maybe some other insect, but not a brown recluse.
This lovely timeline (with pics) may help. link ETA: after reading someone else's link above, it could be, but if your skin isn't dying like the pics in my link, it shouldn't be serious. |

Two recluse threads in one night. Wow.
To the OP: I doubt that is a recluse bite. ETA: What that DOES look like is skin cancer though. And it is very common on the legs. Go to the doc. |

Looks like something I had on the back of one of my calfs. At first I thought it was a pimple or something but it took a long time to heal. Yellow pus came out.
 It finally cleared up. I figured it was a bug or spider bite of some kind. As always you should see a doctor to be safe.  |
