I am susceptible to mozzies but its January. Staying with my mum and have these around my knee pits. No pets in the house. They are itchy.

I've also got them on my bum around the knicker leg lines :(

In a line like that it might be bedbugs. Not everybody reacts to them so they might not know they have them.

Not certain though, but this time of year would likely be something that lives indoors

Me and DH have had the same. Weird!

Can you see bedbugs? My son has been sleeping in the same bed with me and he is ok, but I didn't know not everyone reacts to them. I react badly to all bitey things :(

Do they have a pet? Look like flea bites.

Oh just seen - no current pets. Have they moved recently? Fleas hatch out from carpets when the central heating is on...

It's not January until Wednesday. But I don't know what those bites are from.

Own home, no pets, no bed bugs.

Although actually my parents' dog came to stay yesterday, not entirely certain if I had a bite before that.... hm!

I've had more appear, I think it is delayed reaction from when I was around pets.
