Can anyone identify these bites? Pic included

[Cantdecidewhich]

Just come back from Majorca and got bit on Sunday night, it's really itchy and swollen. What has done this? A taxi driver said tiger mossies are rife at the moment but doesn't look like mosquito bites to me?
I have bought hydrocortisone cream and trying that for now

I've had those bites too and they're extremely itchy. Think it's a mosquito bite (we were by a lake in the evening, so it's quite likely).

I've used TCP on them to alleviate the itching.

@OoglyMoogly I will get some TCP and try that they are driving me mad! I was quite close to water too. Did they last long?

Looks painful! Worth taking an antihistamine tablet.

Yes I think I need to, I will get DP to pick some up
Thank you

Ants I think. Was in Spain last week and I have similar- it was ants- the hotel sprayed the trees the next day.

Nothing worked- antihistamine, hydrocortisone etc. Just took ibroprofen and 10 days later all but 2 have gone down.

to get a reaction like that means a slight allergic reaction to what ever they injected you with (to thin your blood so they can drink it - yuck!) they will itch like hell but if it was ants you could try a paste of bicarbonate of soda to neutralise their acid. If it was mossies I don't know. There are various antihistamine drugs - some might work better than others. Also try am antihistamine cream (Anthisan)

I had horrible bites in New Zealand from some fort of sand flea thingies, really itchy for weeks after!

Get Eurax OP! Its the best antihistamine cream out there.

They look like the bites I got from sand flies too.

Does t really matter what they were - take some antihistamines - works better than topical creams (though do both).
