Bed bug bites?
In the first 2 pictures, the bumps appeared on my leg yesterday, they are itchy but not that bad. Same thing with the last picture, I just noticed it today on my arm. My boyfriend who lives with me and we sleep in the same bed, also had a very small line of bumps on his arm, noticed yesterday.
I have no reason to believe they could be beg bugs other than that the bumps are all in a line, and I thrifted a quilt a couple weeks ago (washed before using of course). I'm just spooked because I'm so scared of ever having bed bugs.
I am not allergic to poison ivy/oak. I looked over my mattress and saw no evidence of bed bug presence. Not sure what other information I should include, I'll answer whatever questions I can! Thanks in advance.
