strange blister on arm this morning -spider bite?

Could this be a spider bite? I woke up this morning and the first thing i noticed was a seeping blister on my forearm, quite painful with a red rim around it. About the size of a pea.
Had this before, two years ago - same arm, different house. That time there were two blisters right next to each other, each with a tiny piercing hole. I was alarmed at the thought it could have been a huge spider. Yuk. still have the scars 2years later...

any thoughts pls?
thankyou

impetigo? Cellulitus?

Or allergic reaction to an insect bite? (mosquitos are out now)

vannah · 23/04/2010 23:00

not impetigo or Cellulitus, and its only 1 blister. Would have thought if it were bed bugs there would be more...
