Need advice on whether I am overthinking or not

last night in my family and I were walking back from seeing fireworks around 10:15 pm. i live in Midwest USA. while walking back to the car something brushed up against the back of my head. didn’t feel like a June bug collision. those are hard when they hit. this was like something soft grazed my head. I shave my head and have about a weeks worth of hair growth currently so you can see my skin pretty good. my wife looked it over and said she didn’t see any scraps or cuts or anything. I am worried it was bat. not sure if you could tell the difference between a bat or large bug flying into since bats are very light. I don’t know if I should go to ER and discuss getting PEP or not. side note is since the incident I have had a small little stinging sensation on that part of my skin. again, my wife looked at it and also took a picture of the spot so I could look at it and I don’t see anything that stands out to me. I have some small little bumps here and there but they are on multiple spots of my head not just that spot.

not sure if I am Overreacting or not. The sensation was like someone took a paw of a stuffed animal paw or tail and rubbed the back of my head with the tip of it. not large by any means but wasn’t a hard June bug . Maybe a moth I don’t know . trying to be rational but I don’t like how the back of my head, the skin kinda has a burning sensation. I just don’t see a visible mark in the area.

I have read the FAQ.
