Could it be possible i got bit by a tick or a chigger?

Maybe: Chigger bites often have a small red in the center of a welt ; occur in areas where skin is tender like the crotch, armpits, belt line, backs of knees, ankles. They are extremely itchy. Because tick bite symptoms can vary greatly - I have included a resource to review possible presentations. http://www.cdc.gov/ticks/symptoms.html.
