What’s these painful spots on my partners legs?

[Chris2315]

It started last week as one or two but now his legs are covered in them - mainly the upper legs but there’s about 3 in his lower legs too. They’re sore and start off a bit swollen. Am I right in thinking they’re bites? He hasn’t really been anywhere without me and I don’t have any so I can’t think what it could be or what could be biting him!

Have you got pets?

Nope no pets 😊

Has he stayed away anywhere in the last week? Could be bedbug bites if he has

They look like bites to me too. Midgies?

Flea bites.

Nope he’s not been anywhere different, other than laying in our sons bed some nights if he wakes up to get him back to sleep..but my son has no bites either, it’s just my partner lol

Looks like bites to me. DH woke up with several on one leg a few days ago. I was nt bitten, am assuming something flew in through the window as it was definitely bites.

Do they itch?

did you ever find out what they were. I’m covered in them too. No sign of bed bugs or fleas. Pharmacist said they dont look like bites but I keep getting more. Itching like mad

Thanks all, nope he still doesn’t know and has some more now too, with one with a large red centre/red surrounding area and some with white pimple like centres.

He says they’re a bit itchy but more than anything sore, especially the raised/red ones.

No sign of bed bugs and I can’t see how it could be fleas so it’s very confusing!

I had this once but my legs were very painful also www.nhs.uk/conditions/erythema-nodosum/

Foliclitus . Google it . Pain in the arse they are

At first I would have said just sweaty, hairy man legs causing zits where the hair is.

But that latest picture looks like Molloscum Contagiosum. Have a google.
