What Causes Stinging Sensation Inside Forearm Around A Red Blister?

I was working outside, when suddenly my inside forearm began to sting. Upon pulling up my sleeve, I noticed a red dot at the source of the stinging. About 30 minutes has passed, the stinging has diminished, but the dot has become about 1/8 inch long, surrounded by a welt slightly larger than a pencil, smaller than a dime. There is also redness about the size of a half-dollar. Have any idea what could have stung/bitten me? I live in Missouri.

Hi there.

This could be due to insect bite by small ant or spider. Nothing to worry. Apply Lactocalalamine lotion. Avoid wearing irritating clothes, sunlight exposure.
