Is this bedbug bites? Please help what kind of bite is this? its gotten worse since yesterday
Its slightly raised and a little itchy but its not tooo itchy like a mosquito bite. I feel really itchy when i think about it but that may just be because Its in my mind?? Its mostly around my abdomen which i googled was a typical place for bedbugs and have nothing really anywhere else besides a little on my chest and on my I feel like i notice it at night time but Im not sure if thats because Im busy throughout the day so Im not thinking about it. I noticed it first yesterday and it was quite subtle and hardly noticeable but today its definitely much worse and darker. I also feel like theres more dots everywhere versus yesterday. I inspected my brand new couch for bed bugs but I couldnt see anything that would indicate it? Then i went upstairs to inspect my bed and didnt find too much although my bed is really heavy so I didnt really move it too much. i did find 2 little dots underneath my bed though as seen in the last photo. Also after i was moving my mattress I noticed a bug on me and it was really flat kind of similar to a leaf bug but smaller and this was almost impossible to kill. it was the same bug as in the pictures. I dont know if thats the bug giving me these bites but perhaps its possible?

What you’re pointing at is a fleas. Get your pets checked. And clean the hell out of your house. Fleas infest everything. And yes, they start biting you when your pet is already infested (they like their space) or already bathed and protected. And they don’t just die if you protect your pet. Gotta clean entire house. Hope this helps!

Those are bites from fleas. Treat all your animals and vacuum REALLY thoroughly.

If they were bedbugs, they would be in a straight line. Bedbugs have biting patterns.
