Answer:
If the spot is where the log hit you - it's a bruise. An 800# tree could give you a nasty injury, I don't doubt that it hurts when you touch it.
Bug bites tend to start out small, and you can usually see the mark of the bite in the center. And they just cause a red rash, not the purple you're describing.
