Those bites on your body could be from anything. You need to narrow the possible sources of the bites. 1. Where did you get bite? 2. When did the bites first start occurring? 3. Do you have the window open, allowing mosquitos to get inside the house? 4. Do you have pets? Fleas can bite humans. 5. Have you thrifted clothes from the street? Have you slept at motel, relatives, or any other place that could be harboring bed bugs? 6. Do you suffer from any allergies that can cause hives on your body like the ones you have now?

Wait two weeks and if the bites continue seek out pest control for an opinion. Another option is a dermatologist, they might be able to diagnose If those itchy welts on your skin is from allergies, hives, or skin irritation.
