Potential bed bugs bites?

Hi all,

So this morning, I noticed these red marks on my body. Some feel like bumps, others feel like nothing, but both are somewhat itchy.

I'm only really concerned about these because my mom recently came home from a cruise ship, and my dad mistakenly threw a bag from the cruise on my bed.

As far as I know, the bag wasn't cleaned, so I have no idea if it harbored a bed bug.

Apologies if they're hard to see, they're kinda small so getting a good pic of them was difficult, but I'm just hoping that the bite patterns aren't consistent with bed bugs bites.

Beetle-type thing?

Found this little critter chilling on my bed right before I went to bed. Doesn't look like a bed bug or any bug I've ever seen, hoping it's nothing crazy. If it helps, I live in SoCal.

Really need help

Okay, so for a bit of context, I got this weird little bite(?) on my foot about a month or so back. Originally, I believed I had bed bugs, but the fact that it was a singular, concentrated bite made me very unsure. This is the bite seen in the first image.

The second image is the same bite now. I have no idea how it turned into this, nor why. I also don't really know how long it's been like this, since it doesn't really itch or feel like anything, it's just sorta there.

I'm really freaking out right now, what could this be?

Hi everyone,

I've made a few posts here regarding what I initially thought was some potential bed bug bites, and after some cleaning, I may have found my answer, but I still need a second opinion.

So, this past week has been fairly okay, no bites or anything like it, but I did get another bump that looked similar to the one I had gotten on my foot a while back (I posted it here before, but it was just a red, swollen lump with a tiny scab in the middle with red streaks portruding from both sides.)

After some cleaning, I found an old frisbee of mind close to my bed, and after some closer inspection, I found these little things in the images.

Now I do know at least one Carpet Beetle is there, but as for the rest, I don't know, so I need some help with ID'ing these things.

Any and all help is appreciated, thanks.
