Random raised patch appeared over night — can you help identify?

Odd for the shape to be that perfect. Looks like rain rot above it in that other patch
That would cause the raised look. The shape unless it is a burn or scald of some sort would not be that perfect.

I don't see the rain rot - just dry manure/dirt. I agree with the others. I think it's some sort of bite or sting. The spot where the dirt is looks like it could be another raised piece.

I am guessing insect bite or sting. My mare had a case of hives years ago and I never had a horse with hives before or after. I didn't even see the bite for several days after the hives went away. I decided it was a spider bite because she had a small oozy wound that took a couple of weeks to heal. That seemed consistent with what I read about spider bites. It was on her side so I think she laid on the spider!
