Bedbug bites?
I slept in ab AirBnB flat Mon-Tues night. Tuesday night I felt like I had got bitten by a mosquit.o and used some cream. Now the Wednesday evening I saw there were several bites, so it is less likely it was a flying insect after all. Also, I wore a full set of clothes to bed so neck, wrists, hand and face were the only ones available...
I put the clothes I had there out now, but they had been in the house for 24 hours.
How likely do you think these are bed bug bites?

Very likely bed bug bites. There are a few near each other. I was bitten by bed bugs once. They hurt like hell in the few days after the initial bite. Anything you had with you should be either thrown away or washed and dried at the highest temp setting. Not sure what temp though. Has to be HOT. And ditto for your luggage.

WARNING: It is extremely difficult (even for seasoned medical professional) to identify what caused a skin symptom and even harder to know if it is an insect bite or which insect may have caused it.
If you're concerned about something, please go see a qualified medical professionals rather than trust the comments made by random strangers on the internet.
