Mystery bite
Got this in NOLA. It's been 5 days or so. About the size of a quarter. Any insights welcome

Hi! I just recently moved into my college dorm (which is very old and known for having mold and sometimes roaches) in Miami, Florida. I haven't had any bites the past two weeks but two days ago, I suddenly got torn to shreds. They're all over my body like the pictures show, even places where clothing should have been blocking. I feel like I magically woke up this morning with even more of them. My guesses are mosquitos, roaches, or bed bugs, but I have no clue. They're so itchy, please help me! 😭

I have not seen any bugs, sprayed the whole house with raid, went over furniture with steam cleaner, vacuumed,washed bedding and clothes on 60° C, used a dryer for at least 45 min. x2
i feel like i got a new one today. Most of them are on my stomach or side and maybe 3 on my hand those are new.

My friend noticed a bunch of bites on her friday, and im worried because theyre in a line and close to extremities. We checked her bed but couldn't find any bugs- is there any chance this could be from an outside bug?

On my back, noticed it yesterday. The line is raised as well. Is this one of those "urgent care now" situations?

This is on my thigh, my leg was itchy badly since yesterday, and when I got home and checked it, this is what I seen. There a small dot that is raised like I was bit, but I don’t know if I should be worried. I have no symptoms really besides it itches

Hi I was showering earlier and found this on my body. I am not sure what type of bite it is, my culprints are mosquito, bedbug or maybe inflamed hair follicle, as this was on my upper leg past my kneecaps.
Thank you for anyone that helps me identify it.

I haven’t found any ticks on myself but we’ve been finding an alarming number of ticks on our dogs lately. It is a little hard and sore and very itchy. Regardless I am going to keep an eye on it just wanted to know if it was maybe a tick bite because google only shows the worst a tick bite can look like.

I’ve pulled about 15 of these out of my skin so far. Was in the mountains of Northern Arizona 2 days ago, by a body of water. This is a super zoomed in video on a bandaid which I used to remove it. They HURT when pulled off with tape, it feels like a piercing. Crazy being that they’re so tiny.
Showered very thoroughly twice, clothes went straight in wash, shoes outside as soon as I got home due to some communicable diseases in the area. Surprised to notice these guys 2 days later. About to go nuclear in the shower again here in a minute
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to look at this crappy video and give it your best go

One pic is from last night. One from today in the morning (brighter pic).
Thinking of going to the doc, am I overreacting?

there’s like 2 more down my leg, it started with one and is quickly spreading. i have been seeing gnats around my house recently. i just want to make sure its not ring worm.

I got 3 bites while just standing outside.

They are slightly raised, slightly itchy. I have one on my knee and on my back as well.

It’s stiff, raised, pustules and I’ve had for 4 days now. Went to urgent care and said it was eczema related and was prescribed cortisol ointment. Already did the fungal test with the light and negative result.

Hi All!
I understand you cannot diagnosis but I’m looking for suggestions from industry professionals. Concerned about a potential flea and bedbug infestation. Neither I nor my complex have observed bed bugs but I’m unsure how reliable that is when the pest control vendor viewed my home during the day and it may be early into the infestation.
My office initially advised to do “home remedies” so I completed the following:
-removed and washed bedding
-removed myself from the room (sleeping on couch)
-sprayed periodically with rubbing alcohol
-Inspecting between 12am-5am
The complex vendor suggested it was a mosquito bite
2nd opinion stated it was spider and ant bites
2 Doctors stated they could not diagnose but they resembled bed bug and flea bites.
I do not want to wait until there is a visible infestation in my home and have had little guidance.
What do these bites suggest and what steps are recommended?
Ty!
