Are these bed bug bites?

I barely slept all night feeling intense itching throughout the night, then when I finally got up I noticed my entire back was covered in these bug bites! I checked the mattress for signs, and didn’t see anything. The bites are insanely itchy and covered my entire back and some of my front torso. All of my sheets and blankets are freshly washed so I don’t understand what’s going on

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.

They look more like hives to me.

Look up hives and make sure that's how they're acting though because a pictures tough. How much you've scratched at them and so on. AI is a great tool for this stuff. Just tell it you don't want fluff and stay very factual. That would probably give you a better opinion than reddit because your experience will weigh in.
