Anyone know what these are?

Posted on another thread but no responses but thought I’d post here for traffic as no idea what these are? On my 2 year old, one on back of her calves and two on her foot. Also lots of other little spots in random places. Don’t seem to bother her too much but she has noticed them. She does have dry skin on the backs of her legs

Probably a better photo of the ones of her foot. Very strange as she has never had anything like this before

Bites? Fleas or bed bugs?

It's hard to tell from pics tbh.

Oh goodness, my worse fear.... No sign of anything like that in the house that I’ve noticed I always inspect because it makes me very anxious

No pets in the house but my mum has dogs. Don’t think they are itchy for her she doesn’t seem to be itching them

Also they’re not in clusters like the ones on her foot there is two. But the other ones are just single, I think bed bugs tend to be in lines or clusters. I am so paranoid about things like that, so I look high and low but no evidence of anything like that. No idea what they are!

The photo of the single isolated lesion does look like a flea or mosquito bite, and the photo of the two lesions close together could be the puncture wounds of a spider bite.
Has she been playing in the garden or a park recently?

Thank you. My mum has two dogs so I will have to ask her if she can see any, she does check I think. Other than that she hasn’t really been around any other pets. Yes she has, I did take her to the park over the weekend

It does actually look like some of the spider bite puncture marks on google. 😨 also we was at my mums yesterday, and she’d been at the vets with her dog in the morning. So it’s possible fleas have been picked up there! Will have to keep checking to see if any more come up

Don’t worry, they all look to be healing up nicely, just keep an eye on them in case she scratches them.

Thank you!

I was thinking possibly spider bites - they’re huge this year!
