swollen glands

about two days ago I developed what I now think is are bites on the side of face, below my sideburns. It looks like acne in a cyst form, but it itches, and now for the past 36 hours my gland near that area (near my ear) has been swollen. Am I having an allergic reaction to something like a spider bite? What can I do?

I'd get it checked by a Dr.  Sometimes MRSA can start that way.
