Help! Covered in bruises – baby sucks and bites my arms

I have really sore forearms. My 9,5 month old stopped taking the dummy and now just sucks and bites my arms to soothe himself as I rock him in cradle position to sleep. He also tries to bite me – would crawl up and bite my feet, arms, tries to bite my nose and cheeks. He is teething with 5 teeth coming through at the same time but my arms just covered in bruises and I just don’t know what to do.

Anyone had experienced this and what can help? I am a little concerned as no other babies we are friends with do it….
