It does sound like a spider bite and/or bacterial infection, though I'm not a physician and it's tough with wounds varying so much and trying to describe them.

For example, there's this brown recluse bite:

You can find black widow bites that are similar, and even centipede bites that get infected.

And the other pic was bacterial infection, but not anthrax.

I need to know if the lesion was painful or not.

The first one was similar to what I saw but not exact.

Anthrax is not a painful lesion. Unless you get some sort of a secondary infection.

My classmate stated: It only hurts when I look at it. The physician gave her Clyndamycin. She survived.

I’m not sure this is a Brown Recluse. The ones I have seen were not new, pretty old, where the surface of the skin sloughs off, and much bigger, but on large areas of the body.
