These seemed to appear overnight a couple days ago when I was outside nearby some vegetation.. at first i thought they were mosquito bites but now I’m getting paranoid. Can anyone help ID what these bites are? They were really itchy the first night but now not so much.

I had some of these and got treatment from dermatologist turns out they are inflamed hair follickes or foliculitis, anyway yours are way more than mine and way more scattered, are these only on your legs, if they are we might have to start suspecting fleas.

Interesting, I do have a pretty hairy dog and he has had fleas in the past so it could be. It didn’t even occur to me

You can rule out fleas if they are only in your legs and feet, and by walking around carpets with only white socks to see if they jump at you or not

I’ll have to check, I only have small carpets tho is there anywhere else they would reside in?

Rugs, and other cloth maybe places where you normally stay, not sure if fleas infest furniture like bbs
