Two mini gouges out of my arm? Bite?

Just as the title says I suppose, as seen in the picture I have two mini gouges out of my arm. I squeezed them early and some water stuff came out? I suspect it's a bug bite but does anyone know what kind of bug? I've not had bites that look like this before 😬

Haven't got a clue, but they don't look very nice tbh I'd be putting some antiseptic cream on and keeping an eye on them. Do they hurt or itch?

Tarantula I'd say

Oh god now I feel itchy! They appeared half way through the day whilst at work, no noticeable spiders around and I didn't feel a thing but I suppose I could have been engrossed in work for a few seconds and not noticed.
They don't hurt or anything just making me feel very uncomfortable now to think I might have had a massive spider eat me 🤮

More likely fly bite then I think.
