The thing that does not make sense with this there is no pain or itching. Insect bite in the past itches i did work outside the backyard alot i dont remembered being bited the bump now more red and hard. Do you stll think its insect bite i upload another picture.
Brief Answer:
Please post another photo.
Detailed Answer:
Seen the image loaded just now. Please post another as this is very hazy. The first ones were so clear.
Yes, I too realized this when read your history, you posted in the first query.
Most of the bites are painful and they do itch. It is a possibility that some insects have such a poison that do not cause itching or so.
Single lesion on wrist, practically no symptoms other than visible redness and elevated red lesion, commonest possibility is an insect bite.
I hope you do not have other such lesions on the other parts of the body or any other medical problems / medicines that you are taking.
Please post another photo.

Here is better picture
Brief Answer:
If no symptoms, do not worry.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for a better picture.
This is an asymptomatic small lump. If this is not causing any problem, please do no worry and keep under observation. As I said earlier this may be an insect bite.
The body will take care of it through its immune system.
If any symptoms develop like- itching, increase in size, pus formation, development of such lumps elsewhere on the body, consult your Doctor.
If no symptoms, do not worry.
