Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

I will like to review this mage before making definitive statements. Yes, a spider bite can cause black scab. I will need to determine if this is normal healing or an ongoing infection which needs more treatment. Also, is there any pain or serous drainage? Redness around the area? For how long has this been?
