Hi,
If there is nothing following a wash and no any lesion whatsoever, just forget. It could have been a non-specific lesion or something on bed or some insect like mosquito or ant pressed on your cheek while asleep.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Himanshu Dhanak, Otolaryngologist / ENT Specialist
