Regardless of what caused it you have an abscess with surrounding cellulitis. You should be on bactrim and clindamycin for presumed MRSA. If the infection gets to the deep tissues of your hand you are fucked. Google "Kanavel's Signs" and see if this describes your hand symptoms. If it does, go to the ER now. Either way, you really dont want to mess around with hand infections.

If I am right, don't squeeze it, it will form a white head on it, then you can press on the tissue around it, which will cause pus to pour out, followed by a core. Then it will heal up in a couple of days.
I got a metric shit ton of them on me, about 20 over a years time, it was caused by my compromised immune system, which led to staph infection. Doc lanced one on my calf, he used one shot of lidocane and didn't give it any time to kick in, I bout ripped the bed rail off when he cut into it.
Wholly smokies, man sorry to hear about that and hopefully they're done.

I never felt shit bite me but about 3 hours after I finished mowing, my index finger on my right hand was sore as fuck from the tip to the first knuckle. It swelled up and I couldn't bend my finger for about a week. Shit felt like it was slammed in a car door over and over again.

Now that I see the pics on my laptop and not my phone, it looks consistent with a spider bite. I would go get it looked at again. If I saw you in the ER I would I&D that and give you a shot of ceftriaxone and add clindamycin to your current regimen.
