No, not usually. This is assuming that you mean a single lump at the site of the bite. Lumps under the skin are a normal reaction to the allergen introduced by the insect, although not everyone has this reaction to them.

The bumps can be itchy, but not very painful. They should disappear within a few days; this can be expedited by the topical application of an over-the-counter steroid cream such as hydrocortisone.

If the bumps are very large, develop a rash or are painful, then you may wish to see a doctor. Also, be wary of a more serious reaction to the bites which may manifest as a systemic allergic reaction such as rash, difficulty breathing, fever etc.

What do cockroach bite look like?

Cockroaches do not usually bite, (only in extremely rare cases) as human skin provides no nutrition for cockroaches. It's often the nasty allergic reactions to cockroaches that are thought of as a bite. If a cockroach runs over skin, the places that get prolonged contact display large, mildly red, raised bumps. Often multiple bumps running in a straight line, similar to a mosquito bite, but with much stronger itch. The surrounding skin may then also become red and itchy as the reaction spreads due to scratching of the initial bumps.

Well, spiders bite and then leave. Ticks don't bite, they bury their heads in your skin. Little more dangerous, I think so... Ticks also spread lyme disease, which is deadly.
