Heat lumps?

1 reply

Sammymickyvicky · 26/06/2017 14:08

So for the past week I keep getting red (sometimes swollen) , itchy lumps on my ankles and other random places. I keep thinking I'm being bitten by something but I have de bugged my house 3 times so far in a week and still keep getting random red very itchy lumps.
I don't no if it's the heat or what but I'm so paranoid and my anxiety is so high I'm getting scared and checking the kids skin all the time making sure they haven't got anything.
I have noticed some little black jumping bugs on a few separate occasions in the house there not fleas or ticks when googled they say they are springtails but I'm freaking out and I'm scared I'll make my kids like me.
Please can someone help me

It sounds like fleas to me. I'm the same-itchy red bumps around the ankles.

I get them every year, so I'm used to it. Grin.

I do my best to de-flea dcat and treat the house, but they always come back. Buggers! They go away of their own accord eventually.

I'd get pest control in if it bothers you.

I used to get "heat lumps" as a kid. Most of the time they came and went at random. No idea what caused them.

Have you googled the spots? Some interesting stuff on Images.
