r/bugbites

Woke up with these marks, no pain at all, just a bit itchy. Does it look like bedbugs bite?

the black around it is pen to see if it grows more but last night i went camping and i woke up with this bite on me it’s got a white ring with a red middle i was hoping someone could help identify what bit me

​

Any idea what bit me last night? I woke up with quite a few bites this morning.

It doesn't itch at all but feels like I'm rubbing against a stinging nettle if they touch anything.

I live in south east England never had anything like this before and I've had plenty of mosquito bites etc never any that didn't itch but hurt to touch.

This is my upper thigh and was covered with bike shorts while I was sleeping. Woke me up in the middle of the night very itchy. Hoping it’s just mosquito bites from being outside yesterday!

These marks are on the back of my arm, and they were not on me before i went to bed, at least that i know of. i’m hoping it isn’t bed bug bites or some serious spider bite..and i’m hoping it isn’t something else other than a bug. :((

i’d love to have an answer to calm my nerves of it being anything bad!!

woke up to these make on my heel

I first noticed the smaller more red clumping of itchy spots yesterday morning after waking up in my own bed, but last night I stayed over my aunt’s house and woke up with the larger spot of them to the left of the original spot. What the heck could they be??? They are extremely itchy. Ty! I do have a cat that is indoor/outdoor as well.

Daughter's eczema is flaring and can't get it to calm. She also has a rash. Did some research and thought it could be bed bugs as she scratches worse at night. Have taken photos with a flash and magnifier app. Could someone tell me if these spots look like bed bugs?

this is my 10th day in spain and i’m so itchy. this developed over night but i’ve had a dozen bug or mosquito bites around the rest of my body. this rash is central to my thighs, hips and calves, on both sides. so extremely itchy please help asap

There is a tiny blister on one of the marks, my suspect is either ant or spider bites (I didn't feel anything). Could it be a bat? Quite unlikely since I probably would've felt a bat landing on me during the day​. I live in Indonesia.

my kid is 5 and often sleeps with us in bed. i'm worried that we have bed bugs but can't find any signs (continental europe). i also have some bites on my lower legs and arms. wife has nothing.

Very very worried.

Location: SW Pennsylvania, USA

was at the playground for a couple hours today. when we returned to the house something prompted me to reach back to my buttock and I felt something sharp jabbing me. I reached into my pants and pulled this out. at first I thought I had a splinter but the more I looked, it looked like part of a bug. anyone have a clue what this might be?

Over the past 3 days I've gotten around 21 bites on or near my ankle and behind my knee, and maybe one on the small of my back. At first I thought it was bed bugs, then mosquitos, then chiggers, but now I'm not sure at all due to the variety in the bites. Some are slightly red but not swelling, most are red swollen and very itchy, and 2 behind my right knee have gone from red and swollen to no longer swollen, very red, and not itchy. I haven't walked in grass or green areas in the past week. Today I've laundered my clothes and bedsheets too. I also live in the Midwest US if that's any help.

Had one bump on my neck last night when I laid into bed. Around 10PM last night EST and then I went to sleep for about 6 hours. Woke up at 6am EST, noticed I had more random bumps. Small wasn't worried. Got off work and went to urgent care.. they basically just gave me 10mg steroids and said if it gets worse to go get seen again. It's 10PM EST now and I'm assuming steroids should have kicked in which seems to have taken down redness a bit but the bumps aren't going down yet. Itching also went away slightly. I got seen at 7:45PM EST.

Any idea whats going on? Maybe someone has had a similar situation. Hoping it's not an allergic reaction but I feel like that can't be possible over the span of 24 hours.

Let me know, thanks

These showed up after doing an airboat swap tour in the Atchafalaya basin and later that evening we went in an outdoor pool at the hotel. I didn’t see a single mosquito our whole week long trip and usually they flock to me. These aren’t acting like mosquito bites do for me either. My mosquito bites will immediately itch and swell into huge welts then over a couple days turn into small itchy dots. These didn’t show up until a couple days after the swamp/outdoor pool and they are the itchiest thing I’ve ever felt and right in the middle of my back. I don’t have any other bites other than this cluster on my back. The only thing I can think of is no see ums or bed bugs. My husband and son don’t have any bites.
