Many possibilities: What you describe may represent the bite of any number of insects, though most likely is a fire ant.

Britain?: Here in the us we are having a record season for lyme disease (saw more cases this summer than in about 5 years combined) and it usually starts with a lesion like you describe. I don't know if there is any lyme in your area, so you best see a local doctor.
