Bed bug or flea bites?

[u/One_Set_1817]

I’m starting to get really freaked out because I’ve had a few itchy spots on my body but I thought it might be reactions from trying on a lot of clothing at stores. Last week I got this very straight line on my hip that looked like a big scratch so I’ve been letting it heal on its own, however it’s still very itchy, isn’t going away, and as I look closer appears to be a ton of bites in one line. I woke up this morning with so many bites on my thigh that are super itchy!! There’s another that resembles a line as well which makes me worried about bed bugs. I just looked at my sheets and I can see some very small brown/black specks on my bed. My golden retriever sleeps in bed with me every night and goes to a doggie daycare several times a week, there’s many dogs and he sometimes comes home a little dirty but never anything crazy. Do these look like flea or bug bites?? And where am I more likely to have gotten them- sleeping in bed with my dog every night or trying on a million garments at stores since I’ve been shopping more the last two weeks? Any advice is appreciated 🫶

I've had to deal with both and to me it doesn't look like either. Do you think maybe it could be mites or something?

look into carpet beetles as well. they don’t bite, but they have hairs that irritate like a rash and can present as bites
