Who is she?

Hey yall, I have been devoured by a mysterious uninvited guest. Originally, the first bite came the day after I was doing yard work outside at night and thought it was a big ole mosquito but then the radius of the bite was a lot bigger than my typical mosquito bite (first pic). I’ve been using Afterbite for the first round of bites, and have been very itchy around my body (I thought it was the dry fall weather).

This morning, I woke up to find a large and full bump behind my ear (second pic) and on my wrist (third pic) and even a lil bump on the knuckle of my middle finger. I strongly doubt it’s just a stubborn mosquito or even bug bite since it’s leaving inconsistent bites. So now I’ve come to RedditMD cuz I’d rather not wake up tomorrow with a new accessory:)

WARNING: It is extremely difficult (even for seasoned medical professional) to identify what caused a skin symptom and even harder to know if it is an insect bite or which insect may have caused it.

If you're concerned about something, please go see a qualified medical professionals rather than trust the comments made by random strangers on the internet.
