Allergy: Sounds like an allergic reaction to something you came in contact with. I would use hydrocortisone cream on it 3 x / day for 1-2 days- if it doesn't resolve, see a doctor.

I have a small cluster of bumps on my thigh. They are in a perfect circle. The spot is red and is very itchy. Could this be a spider bite or something? It is slightly raised and has gotten a little bit bigger since I first noticed it a few days ago.

Bit by a tick on knee and hit the same spot 2 days later. Few hours after I hit it, a red bump started forming. Thought it was because I hit it. Week later, area around is swollen/itchy and the center of the bump is grey and sunken. Hurts to touch?
