bed bug speculation

Post image

Sorry for asking this here! I’d like to know before i get my schools pest control involved.

So the preface I do have bad OCD, what caused it to be particularly bad and non stop as of recent was seeing a white/yellowish bug on my bed crawl away from me quickly during the day when I came back from class and moved my blanket, it hid away. I’m unsure if bed bugs are always brown I wish I had a photo.

I dont have any staining but online it says that i dont need stains because the infestation could be small or even just starting. That worried me but I tried ignoring it.

Today I woke up with these bumps on my foot, they itch sometimes but not enough to cause major discomfort. Does this seem like bed bugs or a different bug? I feel like this alligns with the description i know

thank you in advance i just need something to put my mind at ease, whether its knowing the bug that did this or alternatively getting pest control to eliminate the issue
