Get it looked at.: Without seeing the bump, it is difficult to say for sure but if it is kind of shiny and you can see the blood vessels in it you should see a dermatologist to make sure it isn't a basal cell carcinoma.

Bite?: Not too many things just appear in 1 day, except for a bite. See what happens over next day or 2 and go to ophthalmologist if not better.
