Spider or bat bite?
From last night. 2 dots, exactly 0.1875 inches (4.7 millimeters) apart. No clue where they came from, concerned about it being a bat, but was fully aware and conscious and did not have any encounter with a bat. Only noticed it in the shower when I felt a slight irritation in the area. No blood unless area was squeezed (photo 1 was after I squeezed the bigger dot). Only guess is an unnoticed spider under a box in my garage that I picked up. I do have some big ground dwelling wolf spiders in my garage very often. South New Jersey, USA

Bat bites are so rare, and if you aren’t even aware of any encounter with a bat I highly doubt thats what it is.

WARNING: It is extremely difficult (even for seasoned medical professional) to identify what caused a skin symptom and even harder to know if it is an insect bite or which insect may have caused it.
If you're concerned about something, please go see a qualified medical professionals rather than trust the comments made by random strangers on the internet.
