Answers:
The occasional pimple on the arm is not impossible nor uncommon!. I would look at images from google and compare to: nodule, carbuncle, boil, and various insect bites!. If you get a lot of sun exposure, this could be some kind of actinic kelosis, or carcinoma in situ, or some other kind of cancer, but that seems unlikely, especially if you suspect that you have been bitten!. But, if you were bitten by a deadly spider, don't you suspect that you would be falling ill right now!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's probably not a BR bite!. How long has it been there!. BR bites begin to make the center of the bite necrotic fairly quickly (which means the skin will become black and dead)!. It's probably a bite from a mosquito, or other biting insect!. It would be hard to tell you exactly what the bite was from, but whatever it is, it's probably not fatal from the description you've given!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it could be a brown recluse bite!. JUST DONT TRY TO POP IT!. that will spread the infection!. also, put ice on it and go to the doctor to find out for sure!.

and, so you know, while some brown recluse bites turn out really badly with all the tissue damage etc, many heal without any major damage!. so, try not to panic!. but definitely go to the doc to make sure it gets treated!. it may be nothing, but its better to be safeWww@Answer-Health@Com

it could be a body zit but usually those are slightly smaller, im guessing a bug bite that your skin had a bad reaction too, put some ice on it and if it stops hurting for a bit and decreases in size then it must be a bug bite!.!.!.but if not, and if you pick it and it bleeds, then it might be a body zit!. they usually pop out of nowhere and anywhere,!.

goodluck!!!!!!take care!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have no idea what it could be particurally, but def!. get it checked out by the doctor!. It could be contagious or even infectious!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
