Could Large, Tender Bumps On Chest Oozing Pus Be Spider Bites?

A couple of days ago I woke up with 2 large bumps one on my chest another on my hip they swelled, became tender and formed a scab on each. I puled the scab off and there was alot of puss inside, I cleaned both out with Peroxide. The are a around them is hard, sensitive and pink. I think they are spider bites but uncertain.
