It sounds like it could be red bugs or jiggers.  They are not bug bites but the bug itself in  the skin. I had them and they are hard to get rid of. It took me nearly a year. The medicine the doctor treated me with did not work. Try scrubbing them and taking a bleach bath (bout a cap full.). Bedadine also kills bacteria. I also used lice shampoo to treat my whole body. Make sure you wash sheets and stuff as much as possible. If it is any kind of bug these things will work. Be consistent.

I also have this, but it started on the tops of my feet. if i don't itch them for awhile, they shrink into tiny red bumps resembling poison ivey/poison oak. but when i itch them (it's impossible not to), they look exactly like mosquito bites. it's unbearable. then, today, i noticed my boyfriend itching his arm constantly. he took his shirt off, and on his right side, big mosquito bite-looking bumps, also on the backs of both elbows, and from the top of his left shoulder down to his wrist. they resemble bug bites, only his are a pinkish red color. i dont know if i should take him to the E.R, or if i'm over- worrying, but it's spreading fast. we've tried oatmeal bath, benadryl itch cream, caladryl, washing the sheets/blankets... i dont know what to do. they're now on the back of his neck. Does anyone have any idea of what the h this is?

well i have it on my chest stomach arms and thighs i don't know what it could be. iam 16 and if feels like somone is ripping my skin off my bones, i can't take a hot shower without crying in the process so if you find out what it is can you plase get bakc to me. It would be nice to know,

thank you,

Have any of you looked into bed bugs?  I have the same kind of thing all over my stomach, back, inner thighs and a few on my arms and lower legs.  My doctor said they looked like bed bug bites.  I had an exterminator come check out all our furniture and he inspected the beds, couches, etc and couldn't find any signs of them.  I did stay at a hotel a couple weeks ago just before the red bumps started to show up so I they might have come from there but I don't know for sure.  They aren't going away, though...and it's been over a week!!!
