Does it feel like a burn?
Could be a red-black false blister beetle.
They don't bite but their skin contains an acid that makes blisters about the size you said if you accidentally crush them, say under your arm or chin. They come to light at night.
Here's a good photo of one: http://fireflyforest.net/firefly/2009/07...er-beetle/
I treat the blisters like a burn with aloe and antibiotic ointment if necessary.
