Is the wound more than 2 inches wide, dark black , and smells foul?

If you see red streaking heading from the bite up towards your heart, you have cellulitis and need to see a doctor pronto. (Most people will also develop a medium to high fever from cellulitis and will feel quite sick).

I have 2 spider bite scars on my knee from 2002 that I'm certain will remain unchanged until my death.

R1 and R2 not yet, but it's red around the bite in a way that I haven't seen before. I will keep a close eye on it and if I feel bad at all will go to urgent care or the ER

Are you still alive?

Does it look like a bull's eye? That's a tick bite. You've got time to get doxycycline if you see prompt care.

OP just go to a doctor or ER stat.
