roaches do bite. and for a few days, there would be quite a big and warm lump on the area where it bit you. this is a normal reaction of the body so don't panic.
just wash your hands and the site frequently with soap and water and you can start forgetting about it. but if it starts to get redder and bigger and very painful, not to mention any kind of discharge from the bite, you should go directly to a nurse or a doctor.

Find the nest, here is my story:
keep a clean apartment but what started attracting roaches was when I moved my iguana out of a class cage into a wire cage about 6 feet tall. I began noticing roaches. The exterminator came out but I would not allow him to spray my pets room (seen no roaches there). The exterminator told me that he seen no roach nest but sprayed the apartment anyway. Later, I continued to see roaches and checked my pets room since that was the only room not sprayed. I found the roach nest in a box next to my iguana's cage. They would leave the box and eat my iguana's droppings. The nest was "ugly" with about 24 adult roaches, eggs and baby roaches.
Later, I had roach problem again, checked my iguana's room and could not find roaches in there so I just sat and watched/waited. Seen a roach crawl from under my pets light stand. Took the stand into the bath tub and begin spraying it. Out came another 2 dozen of large roaches, babies and inside were eggs, again, leaving the light stand to enter the cage and eat the droppings.
I sprayed the room and now will invest in roach motels. Good luck.
P.S. If you have them, look for the nest !

Never heard of roaches biting before. It's a new one too me. Sure it's not a spider bite? I'd suggest some antibacterial cream. Don't think you'll catch anything.

Are you sure it was a roach? I've handled roaches before and they didn't bite. I don't think they CAN bite.
Even so, I don't think it'll be any worse than getting a spider bite or a mosquito bite.

I don't know whats funnier you're English or the fact a roach bit you. clean it and bandage it. Clean it with rubbing alcohol.

Roach's are dirty creatures. But, you shouldn't have any ill effects from the bite.

Maybe it wasn't a roach. Maybe a different insect. I don't think they bite.
