I have a bite on my leg that is red and bumped, it has a flower looking pattern around it. what is it and how do i treat it?

It is likely an insect bite like ant or mosquito bite. Do not scratch, apply ice pad if itching. It should get smaller next day and disappear in 3-5 days. You only concern if there is significant pain and swelling then redness expands upward. You should go to urgent care if those symptoms occur.
