Bug bite?: The list here is long. It could be anything from a bug bite to something like a superficial skin infection. If you have no pain or itching, keep an eye on it. If it persists or worsens, consider seeing your physician.

Bug or spider bite: Having a doctor examine it will help determine what it is and starting appropriate treatment can prevent secondary infection. Good luck!
