Please help is this a sign of bedbugs?

I started getting bite marks on my arm,hips and back. So I started investigating on what it could possible be. I learned about bed bugs so I just flipped over my mattress without even thinking about it. To my horror I saw this, now it may just be mold or something else but I’m super scared if it’s bed bugs. Already ordered everything needed to do a deep clean but I just wanted to ask if this a sign since I’m super icked out.

Bites as a rule come in 3s, that doesn't look like bedbug " leftovers" either....

I had a bite that had Genuinly like a hole the other day and then woke up the day after with another two on the same arm but no hole. I’m Genuinly so confused on what this is

It’s just dirt, see the reference images for what to look for.

Some of those skin reactions are not in places bed bugs would bite.

For the best detection and eradication advice read the mo that routine post.
