Default brown recluse bite?

Ok, so I think I've been bitten by a spider, possibly a brown recluse. It happened last night while asleep. I woke up to something crawling on my face (!!!) and remember swatting it away. I looked in the bed and didn't see anything and went back to sleep.
Today, I have a large red bump with two little dots in the center on one of my knuckles. It itches but doesn't hurt a whole lot. It's really red and swollen to about a pea shape now.
Has anyone here ever been bitten by a recluse? I looked up pics on the internet, and everything I read said it starts with a white sore, which I don't have. We do have recluse spiders in the house and kill one occasionally, although I rarely see them. Any advice? I'm wondering if I should see a dr. tomorrow or just wait and see what happens?
Thanks.

Even if you have to co-pay on your insurance (which is one reason to not make frivolous ER trips), I would still see a doctor tomorrow. At least get it looked at to see if it is a recluse bite. Better safe than sorry.

Agreed. My aunt was bitten by one and it was awhile before she got better.

Yes, please seek some type of medical help. If it is a brown recluse it can cause some serious stuff. I have 2 friends bitten by these nasty little things and they both had to see a Dr. I wish the best for you. Please take care.
