   I'm not sure if the bump is from bedbugs but it's a little bit red around the exterior of it. Then going into the center it turns sort blackish and then the head is black. A black pimple?

   I'm not a determatologist, but it sounds like it's probably an inflamed blackhead rather than an insect bite. However, if it doesn't go away or gets larger, there's the rare possibility of melanoma, which can show up as hyperpigmented nodules.

   Keep an eye on it. See a doctor if it doesn't go away or changes in any way.
   Probably not bed bug related, but it's really difficult to assess whether or not skin changes are bed bug related or symptomatic of other issues...
