What is this on my leg? Tick bite or something else ?

Got home from a wedding last night to find this on my thigh. It's still there and hasn't changed.

It doesn't hurt and isn't raised. I don't remember doing anything to cause it - I wasn't drinking.

The wedding was in a garden that backs on to a field with animals so that's why I thought tick bite - but they're round aren't they?

Wtf is it, MN?!

Looks like a blood spot under the skin, but why hasn't that weird red bit faded overnight?!

No idea what bit you, but put some antihistamine cream on it, and if it starts to get worse rather than better after a few days then contact your GP as you might need antibiotics.

Thanks! Will try that. Not even sure it is a bite tbh!

Are you me? I've got two bites like this too although one is much more itchy and annoying than the other. I've put germolene on it and might take an antihistamine as well.

Mine were from parkrun yesterday morning. Should have used insect repellant, normally I do!

Harvest mite bites are common at this time of year, they get you off you've been near long grass or bushes, they tend to bite you under clothes, they seem to get me under my knicker elastic! V itchy!
