Hi. This is either a cellar spider or spitting spider and very unlikely source of your injury.
If you have pest biting bugs, these would be worth having around.

Sorry about that, my best suggestion before condemning spiders is to have this examined by a dermatologist with bites background. Read my link also.

It couldn’t hurt to have an pest specialist check your bed area for insects like fleas and bedbugs. Sticky tape around the base of the bed might help find a suspect unless it jumps or flies. Some local Health Departments might inspect for you or might refer you to someone they trust. Often municipal employees will give several names to look impartial, but go with the first company they refer you to. I’ve worked for a city health department and was happy to help residents with insect problems.
