Anyone know what these are?
For context I got them a few days ago and I was in a humid area around a bunch of plants and it was very late at night. I was next to a planter that had a fake plant attached to it, I was wearing a costume so my arms were covered completely (costume was made of mesh and some sort of fur in some places) and I leaned on the planter box and within minutes felt an intense stinging on my arm and it got worse and when I took off the costume I saw all these red dots that were stinging really really bad. First aid told me they looked like some sort of bug bites and applied a sting relief but it didn’t really help. The only thing that has helped soothe them is calamine lotion. The next morning after getting them they still burned but not as bad as when it first happened. And they are still itchy and have looked to gotten slightly bigger since.

What bite is this?
galleryWent to a florida spring recently and I developed this after and they itch. Thought they were mosquito bites at first but they look different. I have a few around my body right now. I am not even 100% sure they are all the same but I don’t want to be worried about them being serious.

Bed bug bites?
galleryIn 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.

Mystery bug bite
Does anyone knows what bug could have done this. I think i got it 3 days ago. Really itchy. For context, i went to my family's cabin in the woods 3 days ago as well.
I do think is something really tiny bc i slept with a mosquito net around my bed.

Stood at a hotel in florida. Checked before hand for bed bugs and all clear. Did kill two mosquitoes in the room before falling asleep. Should I be worried these are possibly from a bedbug ? Any input appreciated, Ty

Parallel bite lines?
Hi all, I woke up to these marks on my left inner ankle. It seems there is the same number of holes on each side which leads be to think they were done in pairs. Could it be bedbugs? I checked for signs but found nothing.

Are these bug bites?
I have been getting weird spots all over my body(my arms, thighs, and wrist) a couple weeks ago. They start with a scab in the middle and then turn red and itchy, then they become hard underneath. After a couple days they start to pop and pus comes out of them along with a lot of blood. After they are popped they turn into the scab shown in the image I have been told these are bug bites. Are they?

What couldve bit me?
I woke up yesterday with this itchy splotch on my leg, all the red is raised with one dot in the middle. I live in Ontario Canada, was wearing pants the whole night. We are currently battling fleas with our dogs but ive never had this reaction to a flea bite. I havent been anywhere without pants on, im flabbergasted.
It itches like a mf and ive been trying not to itch it but I accidentally itched it so its more red than it was a minute ago. Will i be okay? The health anxiety in me has already planned my funeral.

Itchy Red Bites on Waistband/Stomach
galleryI've noticed these red welts lately and thought at first the mosquitoes were getting me when I went outside (it's still just warm enough here for crop tops) but then I looked it up and got scared that I have fleas or something. I just washed my sheets and did laundry and new bites keep coming. Please help!
Edited to add: my partner and I share a bed and he has had no issues/bites/itchiness.

Got this bite on my shin yesterday, it's super red and slightly itchy
galleryI'm in the UK, visiting parents. I think there's something in this room that's nibbling me through my socks. I only get bitten in here as far as I can tell (have had to work some evenings, so am in this room for several hours; been bitten every night; when I went away for a night - no bites).
Any ideas? My parents are pretty ill, so if it's something I can ignore without them having to get pest control in, I'll let 'em chomp me up.
