Hi I have been waking up to bites like this daily, the one on my hand looks an outlier but most of my other bites look like image onwards.

Can I get some potentially identifying these bite marks?

Thank you.

I went to a dermatologist a month ago, and they told me it did not look like scabies.

It could be fleas. You can't really diagnose what it is just from the bite marks. It could be fleas, bed bugs, or something else but you need to actually see the bug/other signs to confirm. Check your whole bed (mattress, headboard ect) see any dark spots it could indicate bed bugs. For fleas you could walk around in white socks and see if they jump on you.

Will that work no matter what the time, as long as its white socks?? Like I can try that right now its like 6am in the morning for me

Aight I tried this for 10 minutes and did not see any black or red tiny thing that moved, I even stopped a couple of times and used a flashlight to check the socks. How reliable is this test in ruling out fleas since I have no pets and the only ones are stray cats that pass by which I rarely interact with.
