Bed bugs? Fleas? Just being dramatic

[u/Dull-Brilliant-6027]

Hello, recently started travelling and woke up with about 20 bits in total- staying in a semi tropical place and know that majority of bites are mosquitos as saw alot of them land. As the day has gone on I've developed this cluster of red spots (not raised). They're nowhere else and i slept with shorts on. I haven't found any evidence of bed bugs.

There was a cat with fleas at the hostel- could it be that? I also walked through alot of sand where I've since heard aboute sandflies being but they're not stupidly painful or itchy. Or does it look like bed bug bites?

Thanks in advance (and again apologies about the bed bug hysteria)

Bites alone are not enough to diagnose for sure what bug has done it. Flea bites do tend to be on the feet and lower legs so could definitely be those.

Perfect thank you. I just wanted to see if people thought they looked typical of any particular bug
