A couple days ago i wokre up with a bite on my thigh that has become worse, does anybody know what bit me?

Bite?: Depends. You may have had a bite, or something else. For example people with a MRSA staph infection often think they have had a spider bite, because the pain and inflammation can come on so quickly. Best thing to do is see your doctor or go to the er, as soon as you can as this is a worsening situation that may become dangerous for you.

Haven't got a clue: If the area is red, hot, swollen, indurated/hard, tender, painful, growing in size- then you may have an infection. Get it checked out.
