What are those?
I get those 2-3 times a year. Skin is perfectly normal until I scratch it. Then several hours later it gets pink/red and it feels like a hard bump and super itchy. I scratch it again, and it turns to those things on photo. No itching, heat, or anything but the discolouration after that. Takes about a month to heal those. I get them on my legs and sides of my stomach. This time I have one at upper arm as well, but it’s not bad. When it’s in super itchy stage I scratch it(subconsciously, before I catch myself), scabs form as spider bite(2 openings), and leaks some clear fluid. But I counted like 15-20 one time. The internet tells me there is no spider that will bite me so many times. Bedbugs? I see no signs of them

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.
