What Causes Burning Feeling On Leg?

18 hours ago something bit or stung my ankle. in the night the pain was an intense burning that felt like my leg was burning from the inside out but when I looked I only saw a red spot with no swelling. 18 hours later pain is about a 4 and now we see the red spot has faded slightly and next to it looks like another bite mark and there is a faint circle the size if a quarter that leads to the two marks....still no swelling and burning at a level 4
