To ask what the hell you think this is?

They look like bites to me. They are definitely tiny holes and not raised bumps or lumps. He hasn't been outside, nor has he screamed out in pain or anything. What the hell has bitten him? Tia

Bed bugs can bite in a line like that.

Nearlythere1 · 05/04/2019 20:39

Agreed, bed bugs

Justonemorepancake · 05/04/2019 20:40

Oh no... I'm hoping you're at least on holiday??

WhiskersPete · 05/04/2019 20:41

Defo bedbugs in a line like that!

BillywigSting · 05/04/2019 20:41

They don't look like bedbug bites to me, the holes are too big.
Gp?

Poor thing, that looks sore 😲.

Bed bugs often bite in a line. Google pictures.

They look to be in pairs - spider?

Babyiwantabump · 05/04/2019 20:42

Was going to say zipper too?

NigellaAwesome · 05/04/2019 20:45

I agree with bedbugs. Are they very itchy? Bedbugs are notoriously itchy

They don't seem to be bothering him at all.. even when I touched and cleaned it. He hasn't screamed or yelped out or anything. It has happened in my living room or kitchen within the space of 3 hours.

When I had bedbugs it was red spots, nothing like that. I’d say spider or sone other biting insect.

Soontobe60 · 05/04/2019 20:48

He could have scratched himself, or you could have when changing his nappy.

ABC1234DEF · 05/04/2019 20:48

What's he been doing in those 3 hours? Do you have any animals?

Would a scratch make holes though? It's so weird.

We've been playing cars and trains and watching super wings literally that's it!

They don't look like insect bites to me, more like something has gone into his flesh. Toy? Household implement?

Ask your local pharmacist

How ruddy big are the spiders where you are? Grin

It still could be bed bugs, or a flea even. The bumps are histamine reaction, they die down.

No we have no animals. Nothing around the house that would indent his skin like that either. I've been all round the skirting boards and stuff too.
Do you think pharmacy now or wait til the morning?

snowball28 · 05/04/2019 20:54

Looks the exact same as when I got bit by a spider!

gamerchick · 05/04/2019 20:54

He could have caught himself. I guess it's the waiting game to see if any more appear.

May I compliment the tummy... Ripe for raspberry's it is Grin

LadyOfTheCanyon · 05/04/2019 20:58

Looks like the bite I got from the massive type of house spider you get in the UK. Harmless but surprisingly big!
