anyone know what a UK spider bite looks like ?

was gardening yesterday - didn't feel anything but today blister appeared,whole area including the red bit is raised and hard with a solid white bit in the top. feels like a burn

have been bitten by all sorts of things in all sorts of countries but never had anything look like this ?

any ideas ? for pure interest sake rather than worried aobut me keeling over !!

Just looks like a spot to me, I get them in random places like my hands sometimes, its just a build up of grease etc.
Pop it.
 
Handling roses at all? Last time I got anything that looked like that was from a rose thorn, something on them causes a weird inflammation just like that.
 
ta i -if its a spot then never had any spot like that before

I quite like nature - so I was just intrigued to know what could have caused it
 
With a spider I would expect 2 puncture marks.

Maybe an Earwig? Dont think centipede's in the uk can bite else i would say that.
