Woke up with a large yellowish blister on upper left arm. painful to touch and sore otherwise. could it be a bite? if so, what kind of insect?

Abscess?: This sounds more like an (bacterial infection), not a bite. If it persists more than a couple of days, see a doctor. Or get seen immediately if severe pain or tenderness, spreading redness around it, sore lumps in the same side neck or armpit, or if any fever. Good luck!
