Does this look like bed bug bites?!

Very itchy, noticed yesterday there are three of them. Got one big one on my collar bone and two small ones on the inside of my elbow. Nobody else in the house has anything. Help!

Are they perhaps mosquito bites? Something flying rather than crawling seems much more likely because of how far apart they are. I did live in a place once that got bedbugs and we all got bitten in a specific way - 3 bites about an inch apart in either a straight line or an equilateral triangle.

Looks like flea bites.

Fleas.

I thought fleas bit around the legs?

fleas bite anywhere.

They are more likely to bite ankles as they live in carpet and hop on board whilst you walk about. They will however bite anywhere if infested in quilts or sheets or if an animal roams the bedroom.
