Are these flea bites?

Just that. Pictures attached. They are in one arm. Maybe 10 spots in total.

Can no-one help? I assume not chick pox? I have had that and came through the DC having it unscathed.

I had exactly this, in the same formation a few weeks ago. They were intensely itchy. I squashed a mosquito in my bathroom (uk) and I think that's what it was. I've since another.

OP there was a thread on ?flea bites just the other day, have a look for it, loads of advice.
One of my DC occasionally comes out in about 6 massive hive type bites, randomly scattered about him. No idea what does it!

Should say; I've since seen another mozzie. Are the spots itchy?

Ah i have just realised that there were groups of midges dancing around when i walked the dog earlier. Maybe this is what has bitten me? I do hope so. I use flea treatment on the dog regularly.

Not really itchy.

Flea bites tend to be on legs and ankles

ApolloandDaphne · 11/03/2019 17:23

I've had a good look and there are none anywhere else.

If they're in a line, it's pointing towards bedbugs I'm afraid, though it's impossible to definitively tell from the bites alone. Have you been away anywhere lately or had someone else come to stay? Check your bedding, mattress seams & furniture for brown/black sharpie like dots, tiny rice grain shaped eggs and insect casts.

Hi, it was my thread the other day about bites! We are still none the wiser but have used flee spray everywhere and the biting seems to have stopped! I had them on my arms aswell!
Sorry I can’t link my thread but do a search as there was loads of really good advice!

I was staying in a very posh hotel for one night about two weeks ago. Not sure it will be that but will remain alert.
