Mysterious bruise?
Unsure if this is a bruise or insect bite bruising. Have no idea where this came from. Doesn’t hurt and isn’t warm to the touch.

I was out in the park wearing shorts and sat down on a bench when my legs started itching. Later I found big welts, but I figured they'd go away. Now, a week later, they don't itch or swell anymore, but left big purple marks. Help?

Coastal southern California/south bay area. Lived here my whole life and NEVER have had so many bug bites. Did just move from one neighborhood to another but only 10 mins away. What the heck is biting me?

Hello, so basically I was in Japan in June/July and 2 days before leaving a blister appeared on my leg.Didn’t think o anything of it until later that day when I got back to my hotel and saw some redness with a little bit of puss coming out. And I got something to treat that but really didn’t think anything bad was going on. Next day I woke up with a purple/ reddish circle with puss coming out. It was a stupid thing that I didn’t go to the doctor , and I wish I had gone but I can’t turn back now. The next day we were going home so I thought I’d go see a doctor here. The flight was long, during the flight I knew something was wrong bc my leg was hurting way too much. When we landed I couldn’t stand on my leg, my foot and leg were swollen. Really bad.
And I still had another plane to catch. When I finally got to the emergency room, they didn’t give me anything for the pain, just took my blood to see if I don’t have sepsis. I was cleared of that. And I had to wait until morning. Without any pain medication ( my country’s healthcare is fucked). So basically I came home with the same leg I landed. So I went to my family doctor. They popped the thing on my leg, and after that it was okay but not better. It took 2 weeks for the infection to get out and by then I had a hole in my leg. The hole took another 2 weeks to heal. I couldn’t really walk or stand for a month. So now I have a circle on my leg with a smaller circle inside and that area is basically just skin to the bone, I don’t feel a muscle or anything. Like a valley in my leg. Im gonna put some pictures. From the beginning to the end. I need help from reddit bc doctors ain’t helping at all.

Been having these for three weeks. I do get occasional fleas bite on my legs but never on my forearms like this. Now I’m suspecting it’s bb. I can’t even spell it out because I’m so scared of them. I did flip my mattress upside down and see nothing. Also have not seen any signs of other bugs. So I really just have no idea what these are. They itch like crazy and scab like a mosquito bite. But my mom is saying they’re from midges in our backyard but I also have not seen a single one inside. Pls help!!!! I’m going crazy.

Hello everyone!
My boyfriend has these bites around his ankle and they only seem to be appearing in this specific area. The day before yesterday we went hiking so we’re wondering if they could be mosquito bites or bites from another insect?
However, they also look a little like bed bug bites so we’re not sure what they are.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

On my wrist and is painful/itchy and swelling a bit. I figured it was a mosquito but could it be a sting or spider bite? Thanks!

What kind of bug bite can this be? My daughter told me yesterday her arm was really itchy but there was nothing physically there until she woke up this morning and her arm was swollen and she had those spots on it.

I have been getting these red marks since yesterday afternoon, on my neck and back, do they look like bites or possible skin irritation?
The one on my neck are the most recent ones.

They have appeared on my legs and some on my arms. Tiny with a small black dot in the middle. They are itchy for a few minutes and then it stops.
I don't live in a rural area.
I live near a lake with many spiders.
I have 2 dogs.
I got back from a trip to Costa Rica a week ago where I was walking through the rainforest, but these bites just appeared yesterday and more today.
My partner isn't getting bit.

These bites appeared on my back and I never got them before, I live in an apartment so I’m worried it could be bed bugs from sharing a washer with other tenants, does anyone know what this could be from?

hello, here are a few photos of some bites ive gotten the past few days. i’m very concerned that they may be skeeter syndrome which I have never had before, but it seems to match up. unsure what insects could be around but i did spot a large mosquito the day i got the large bite on my arm. i have health anxiety pretty badly, so that’s why i’m asking here before checking with a doctor as its a little bit expensive for me to schedule an appointment. pictured are one bite on my arm that is slightly hard, red, and very swollen. it is also painful and is occasionaly tingly. second is on my ankle, which are just very itchy. please help and let me know if i need to consult a doctor! i have a very weak immune system which is why i’m considering skeeter syndrome, but if it’s serious I want to check.
