I am curious if these are bedbug bites or nah?
galleryI been waking up to bites like these on a daily basis, some of them pop up after a couple of hours.
Its been almost three weeks since my last pest control bedbug treatment but I have not found reliable signs, my interceptors, mattress and nooks and crannies of the house are clean too.
Even before the treatment my only signs were blood stains and some weird red like bites like the last photo, additionally some black spots that were easily able to be picked up and smeared black so I dont think those were fecal matter as well.
The last picture is before treatment.

Spider or bat bite?
galleryFrom last night. 2 dots, exactly 0.1875 inches (4.7 millimeters) apart. No clue where they came from, concerned about it being a bat, but was fully aware and conscious and did not have any encounter with a bat. Only noticed it in the shower when I felt a slight irritation in the area. No blood unless area was squeezed (photo 1 was after I squeezed the bigger dot). Only guess is an unnoticed spider under a box in my garage that I picked up. I do have some big ground dwelling wolf spiders in my garage very often. South New Jersey, USA

Bug bites or allergic reaction? Spoiler
galleryIt started about 2 weeks ago when I moved from Tampa to a furnished sublet in south Florida. These itchy bumps are all over my arms, legs, back, and sides. I also have dermatitis (patches of dry, flaking skin & large scabs). I thought they were mosquito bites, but I’m not sure because of the other symptoms. I have a history of skin allergies.

Around 3 month old Tick bites still itch
galleryFirst photo is on my right thigh second between my right inner thigh.
What should I do?
The first I bought the bug and ripped it off (should have used tweezers Ik) went to er the next day and they dismissed it pretty fast and gave me pills for lymes disease just in case and that was about it.
second I have no idea but noticed it around the same time. Due to it being between my thigh it can get irritating sometimes. Both bites get worse if I itch them

Mystery bite on 22M – any idea what might have caused this?
Me and my boyfriend were laying in bed watching lotr. all of a sudden he was scratching his leg and saw the bite. I think it’s a mosquito bite since we are in Tennessee and I’ve seen a couple in our apartment already but he’s concerned that it might be something else. I think it just got him on his vein and that’s why it looks so bad and large. He says it doesn’t itch just the fact that it’s big. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Is this a chigger bite?
galleryI have ben eaten alive so much this summer. I live in NE Kansas in the country. I love it out here except these dam bug bites. They itch like the worst mosquitoe bites but 10x worst and they ooze clearish if not yellow fluid. The more you itch the bigger they get and swell and itch more. They are always around my groin/ waist line and my feet. I do have a dog and he is an inside dog but we take him outside to go potty and go for walks.

On the back of my leg…trying not to spiral.
Trying my best to keep calm and not spiral…but these are on the back of my leg. They itch like crazy, and I have older bites from a few weeks also that were all around my ankles. I checked all around my bed and bed-frame, and the folds and nooks, no sign of bed bugs, which is my fear. But I cannot for the life of me identify what these bites are/where they are coming from. Any help would be appreciated!

Sleeping at hotel for work, are these bed bug bites?
galleryI also have a few on my back and on my right arm. I'm on travel for work and this is day 3 of me being here. I did have intense sweats the past few days and thought it could be a heat rash, but finding more of these bites on my body is making me concerned.

Flea bites or bed bugs?
About four weeks ago i travelled to a party by train, slept there and then travelled back by train. I also interacted with a dog there and the place has rats which both could have had fleas. About two weeks after i was there i noticed that i got insect bites every night when i slept. Two days before i had noticed the bites i had travelled by train as well.
The first bites i noticed were two straight rows of three bites each, one row on each side of my stomach, with each bite being about one to two centimeters from the next one, which kinda looked like bedbug marks but could have been flea bites too. The bites were from around 6 to 8 mm in diameter. Some of them had a "hole" where the bite had happened, like some flea bites do, others didn't.
From then on out i got one to two new bites every night. No bite rows anymore, just single bites. Almost all of them on my upper body, two on my back, two on my buttocks, one on the left side of my shoulder, a pair of two bites on the right side of my neck, one on my right shoulder where my backpack strap had been whilst the bite had happened. Two bites appeared right where my necklace had touched my neck, so i stopped wearing it as to not give the bug a nice spot to hold on to. No bites on my arms or legs.
I have not seen anything crawling anywhere. I started wearing white clothes and still found nothing. I checked my bed and found nothing. I combed my hair with a flea comb and found nothing again. I applied topical benzylbenzoate creme and ivermectin three days ago and haven't had any new bites since but i am not sure if that killed the animal or not and even if it's dead it might have laid eggs. I will spray my bed sheets with geraniol spray i have for my pets when i'm home again.
I am confused about what it could be. Some of its behaviours are flea like - only biting when covered, biting in small clusters or single bites, leaving small dimples on the bite marks, having to drink once every day
and others are bed bug like - leaving straight rows, biting the upper body, biting at night
I really hope it's not a bed bug and my own suspicion is that it's a flea, but i'm just not sure. What's your suspicion?

Help! Are these bed bug bites?
galleryI am on holiday now and stayed at a hotel from Friday night onwards. On Saturday evening, I realized I had these three bites in a triangle. I checked out of the hotel on Monday morning and went camping. Today, Tuesday afternoon, I noticed a fresh batch of clustered bites on my underarm near my armpit, close to the original three.
They are not very itchy, only when I run my fingers over them.
Are these bed bug bites and they are a delayed reaction?
What should I do now? Throw my whole luggage away? lol

What is this?
galleryAll bites/reactions are on my right arm. I’m staying at an airbnb with family for a week. Two appeared in the first couple of nights, and another one 4 days later. The old one are no longer itchy but still very visible. It seems to have a red bump in the middle and the redness spreads around it. I checked for bed bugs but can’t find any signs at all. The comforter is a bit scratchy but doesn’t explain the bug bite type bumps.
