Brief Answer:
hi and welcome to hcm

Detailed Answer:
It is not possible to say what bit you. It could be any insect or ot could be allergic reaction to plant or some material. In every case,it is skin change that looks like urticaria. You should apply antihistaminic or low steroid cream on it. Also take antihistaminic per os and apply ice compresses on it. if there will be still growing or legs swelling,pain and fever occur,then you need to see dermatologist. Wish you good health. Regards
