https://www.google.com has a menu choice "images" that will show many pictures of bites. You are unlikely to have been bitten by a brown recluse, but may have a bite from another source. A Doctor or hospital should be contacted if you have severe symptoms of some kind, and don't rely only on internet research for medical treatment.
Note the study of bites in one article suggests many other types of bug bites, some of which are rare but very infected bites, of which brown recluse are actually reported to be very rare, and often misdiagnosed. Yes, despite fear of bites, they are very very rare, and many mistakenly reported cases are actually not brown recluse spider bites.
Many web sites give information, such as those below:
hi Richard.
Brown recluse spider bite
The pain associated with a brown recluse spider bite typically increases during the first eight hours after the bite. You may also have fever, chills and body aches. The bite usually heals on its own in about a week. In a minority of cases, the skin at the center of the bite can become dark blue or purple and then evolve into a deep open sore (ulcer) that enlarges as the surrounding skin dies. The ulcer usually stops growing within 10 days after the bite, but full healing can take months.
Seek prompt medical care in the following situations:
You are unsure whether the bite was from a poisonous spider.
The person who was bitten experiences severe pain, abdominal cramping or a growing ulcer at the bite site.
The person who was bitten is having problems breathing.
Your doctor may recommend a tetanus booster shot if you haven't had one in the last five years.

You don't, of course. You have to watch the bite site for swelling or pus. If you go to the ER, they will draw a circle around the bite to show the edge of swelling/redness. Then they measure this with a ruler in centimeters or micrometers. Then they'll make you wait an hour or so, and check the site again. Do they need to draw a bigger circle? If they measure the previous circle, is it about the same size as before (good) or has swelling made it bigger (bad)?
A dose of benedryl might be a good idea - but check with your doctor first.
