Seem like a bedbug bite!

Hi,

This seems like you were bitten by an insect during your sleep. I will advise you change the beddings and see if this happens again. There is no need for any specific treatment. It all resolve spontaneously with time, probably within a week.

I wish you well and keep me updated with your progress. If anything worrisome comes up, please let me know.
