What bites are these?

New ish bedding and mattress and no foreign trips lately
Don’t get bitten by mozzies much anymore (use lavender spray and vitB)
We have a pet but she gets regularly flead and we’ve checked her over
I haven’t sat outside in the evening (when I used to get bitten it was then)

I’ve looked up insect bites and these seem small for bedbugs bites but who knows
They are all over my back (about 15) I’ve certainly never seen mosquito bites so small?

Any ideas?

I know you said your pet is regularly treated but they do look a bit like flea bites to me. Are they itchy?

The size of the bite depends on how your body reacts. You can't reliably tell bed bug, flea, midge or mozzie bites apart just from looking at someone else's. I would look in the seams of your mattress and bed base for bedbugs, deflea the pets and treat the room with indorex.
