Is Swelling And Pain Due To Possible Spider-bite And Armpit Boils Related?

I am a 25 year old female, and I think I was bitten by a spider on my finger 4 days ago. It s very swollen, hot, red, and it hurts very much. Over the last few days I have also developed boils in both of my armpits. Are these related? Do I have an infection?
