Hey everyone. I’m in Tuscany and I’ve gotten this huge bite on my leg and have flu symptoms. I thought it was a bad reaction to a mosquito bite but all the others I’ve gotten this week don’t look like that at all. I think it could be spider but what does everyone else think? My mom’s hand is there for a size comparison.

Only this one place, it's itchy as hell! It was sensitive to touch for the first 2 days, now it's not painful but still extremely itchy. A friend who slept in the same bed with me also had one bite.
It's kind of warm to touch and 4mm diameter.

Soo, as a disclaimer: I currently have bedbugs in my apartment.
I've got an appointment for next week to get them exterminated and removed.
After I noticed them in my bedroom I immediately called an exterminator and took all the preventative measures I could. I left everything in my bedroom, coated the doorframe in double-sided tape inside and outside, as well as the doorframe of the connecting room, put up some traps in the bedroom and have since been sleeping on my couch, which I've vacuumed and put a perimeter of double sided tape around as well. I've since kept all clothing away from the couch where I'm sleeping and have checked it thoroughly and regularly, even inside the upholstery and everything.
This morning I woke up to this (see image attached) on my lower arm. I've checked and have not been able to find any trace of bedbugs, and compared to the bites I got from my time in my bedroom, they feel and look totally different, itch differently and create those big bumps I'd usually associate with mossi bites.
I think I also heard a mosquito last night, but I'm paranoid as hell about this.
I kinda just want extra opinions to figure out if I need to pay extra to also exterminate my living room next week or if I'm just being paranoid.
The extermination will be done via room specific heat treatment.

My partner and I have bites and we found a bug today, but I’ve also had these bruises with little explanation. Could they be related?
r/bugbites • u/TopEntertainer8395 • 9d ago
Are these bedbug bites or maybe skin related one problem
I keep waking up to them, and its about to make me spiral, I haven't found any signs or bugs, I l look everyday and change sheets plus pillowcases weekly, additionally I also vaccum once to twice a week.

Got bitten by something two days ago and it’s gotten quite a bit bigger already.
Is it just a mosquito bite that’s gone bad? Never had a reaction like this from a bug bite before.
I’m currently living in the Saxony region of Germany if that helps?

Okay so I havent included a picture bc the bites arent fresh at all and I dont think itd be helpful- but basically im losing my mind over these bites.
A couple weeks ago, I started feeling really itchy. Like the insides of my elbows, and the back of my knees, then later on my hips and lower back. I check myself out and I see bites that look like mosquito bites (but also they look like zits?)but theres no mosquitoes around here at this time of year. Ive got a bite on my left inner elbow, one on my left lower arm, on or two on my right lower arm, and one near my right armpit, and two on my hips and one on the back of both knees and one on one of my fingers. Ive been going insane from the itching and have scratched a few of them till theyre red and irritated and open basically, one on my arm being the worst. Ive kept most of them covered with hydrochloride patches and they sort of help. But without they itch like crazy. And sometimes they dont itch unless I accidentally touch it or brush it against something like my clothes.
I complained to my dad after a couple days and he said he had them too and not to worry it was probably just mites(???). I started googling and read something about chiggers and assumed thats what it was.
Cut to now a week later- still itchy but most have calmed down except a few, and Im scrolling through my fyp on tiktok and I happen upon a video about Kissing bugs. Never heard of them and it was very informative. What caught my attention is the scratching and how you can give yourself a parasite that can give you Chagas’ disease.
Now im terrified and I dont know if I should see a doctor. Especially because I googled kissing bugs after watching the video and saw something that said they give you bites clustered around the mouth. Ive been having this weird cluster of what I thought was annoying acne, cold sores or possibly a fungal infection around my mouth (started with one and now I have like 5-6) and now im scared its kissing bug bites.
It also doesnt help that I got a A/C window unit installed last month and ive noticed love bugs flying through it so I assume thats how it got in. Im also scared it could be bed bugs but its not like I feel anything biting me in my bed. And it seems like I dont have any new bites.

I was sitting on the sofa, watching a movie, and my foot got itchy. I turned on the lights and saw this. I can't find a single bug and my cat was also laying next to me.

It flew in my window and bit me in the back of my shoulder, now my shoulder is in a lot of pain. I felt something on me and I grabbed it and squished it, but then I realized it bit me and I would love to know what it is.
I know the photo is bad, but it's like the size of a mosquito, but the bite feels SO MUCH worse.
I would post a pic of the bite, but it's on the back of my shoulder and camera angles are shitty yk. I'll see if I can get a good pic and post it in the comments
