I woke up yesterday with two bite marks on my back leg that have bruised today. Does anyone know what kinda bite it is? I never get bitten by anything!

Looks like it to me. I was bitten a few years ago and it spread into a bruise that ended up looking like a port wine birthmark. Saw a gp who said that as there were 2 puncture marks he suspected it was a spider. Each puncture was bruised like yours too. I'd advise you to take an antihistamine.

Yes, I think so
