I've had two small bite marks (well, I believe them to be bite marks) on my palm towards my thumb.

They have been there for about 2-3 months and are small red bite marks. They have never given me pain and have never been swollen or irritated.
They seem to reoccur because they will fade and then come back again.
The two marks are just over 1/2 inch apart.

I have no idea what would have fangs so far apart. I'm unsure if this is a bite mark and if so, what is it? Although this is not causing me pain or discomfort it is still unsettling to have these strange marks keep coming back.

Hello and welcome to E health forum.

A bite mark cannot be diagnosed online.

You need a physical examination for proper diagnosis.

Consulting your doctor for the same might be helpful.

I hope this helps.
