r/bugbites

(This was on my elbow) Please tell me it’s not a lone star tick bite

Woke up this morning with this bite, it hasn't changed since this morning, should I go to the ER or nah? It's been itchy all day.

Our toddler has been waking up with these bites off and on for months now. They are usually under his clothes  (waist / chest / armpit). We've deep cleaned his room with no signs of anything visible (no bed bugs either). We've washed his clothes multiple times on high heat and dried it on high heat too. We're at our wits end... Can anyone tell me what kind of bites these could be?

saying in costa rica and first day got these just hoping they are not bed bugs

Need help. Not very obvious in the pic, but it follows the garter line of my underwear. Im overthinking because i already had a past bedbug infestation in my room. Thanks

Hello everyone, about two days ago I noticed a slightly swollen redness on my forehead, I thought it was just a pimple, a day later it looks like a cluster of whiteheads and it’s freaking me out since it looks gross and I have to go to work like this 😭 can anyone help me ID what this is?

I went on a walk outside the day before but I don’t remember seeing any spider webs or anything

Every time I ride my bike through the park I come home to more and more of these. What is biting me? Sometimes I feel it and it hurts/stings, other times I don’t feel a thing. Please help. The itching is uncontrollable about 24 hours after the bites develop. They are almost always on my torso and once on my forearm.

I'm freaking out rn

Had a spider on my chest when I was at a bonfire, and the next day a tiny little lump showed up on my thigh. I pretended it would resolve on its own for as long as I could until my first ER trip on 11/1. I had an abscess that they (unsuccessfully) tried to drain and my pcp gave me an antibiotic. Second ER trip 2 days later had me admitted for 3 days for IV antibiotics. I had a nasty bacterial infection, double abscess, cellulitis, the works. Ended up with a small bullet sized hole in my leg as a keepsake lol

I never actually felt the bite, and the pain didn’t start until the next day. I don’t know if it was even the spider that bit me. Any idea what it was?

I have a giant red circle on my arm and a smaller circle on top of that.. no noticeable bite marks (dots or fang marks) from looking… and i have these weird raised up dots above the bite.. kind of like when your skin is too dry. any ideas? i’m from the middle east

Allow me to preface by saying I received the worst bed bug scare of my life last December. Since then my anxiety has never gone away, every time I get a skin reaction I'm terrified.

It's been touch and go, I thought reading David's post he made back in February calmed me down some, but I see something similar to a pattern and immediately freak the F out. Like right now.

Let it be known I've done several thorough inspections periodically, and couldn't find a trace of them. Nothing appears on my monitors either. I've only caught a bunch of carpet beetles, ants, tiny spiders and some flying bugs.

I’ve been having multiple bites show up over a period of 3 weeks and I don’t know what it is. I have a dog and have checked for fleas, I see nothing and the dog does not seem to be itching or showing any other symptoms. I share a bed with my partner who has had none show up. They are itchy and sometimes in clusters and sometimes individual bites (pictured). I’m going insane looking for bedbugs and haven’t seen anything and think it’s odd that my partner would have none if I’ve being eaten alive. I spend moderate time outside walking the dog etc. but I live in Halifax so majority of the time is outside in a city so I can’t imagine it would be mosquitoes, the park I walk in is mostly grass with a few domestic trees. I don’t know what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

Was brushing son’s hair and found this in it. Believe it is a tick. Attached is best picture I could get

I was traveling for work (staying in a hotel) and now I have these itchy red bites that I have shown up after I’ve returned home. Now I’m afraid I have a bed bug infestation.

Edit: I’ve called three urgent care centers and they all said they do not identify bed bug bites.
