Spider Bite Photos

Does this look like a Brown Recluse Spider bite to you?
My brother got bit by what we think is a Brown Recluse Spider while he was sleeping. He said that he didn’t feel the bite. It was behind his ear. It went from being a little red place, to being a HUGE blackish, hole-ish, looking thing in LESS THAN 2 DAYS. There were even 2 distinguishable little holes (bite mark) before it got really bad. I took him to the hospital today, and the stupid ER doc barely looked at him. She decided that since we didn’t OFFICIALLY see the spider, that he has an infection. She just sent him home with antibiotics and painkillers. Anyways… I just wanted to see if anyone had any advice on what to do. Should he get a second opinion?
I uploaded the photo to PhotoBucket… You can see it here: http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z100/SunKissedAddict/Image004.jpg
Just one more little detail I forgot to mention.. His ear is swollen to like 3x it’s normal size and the INSIDE of his ear is turning black too…
More than likely it was. However, the most important thing is that he got the antibiotics. Make sure he takes ALL of them even if it starts to look better. Also, clean it with hydrogen peroxide 3 times a day and put some neosporin on it. If it doesn’t look better in about 2-3 days have it rechecked by a different dr. Hope this has helped!
