Please help us prevent bedbugs. I have not slept for the past 1 month.
About a week ago I woke up with bites on my legs starting at my ankle up to my thigh. They were sparse but could be counted as grouped or lined. I have no bites anywhere else and have not gotten anymore bites since this happened. My husband shares the bed and our two small children (3 years and 17 months) are frequent bed joiners and none of them have any bites. I sleep with pj pants on and under blankets so it wouldn’t be the most exposed skin that I have at night. However I have no recall of being bitten and had pants on during the day. The bites were itchy for about two days and then they are just red. I am wondering if they could be bed bugs. I am having trouble sleeping because of the uncertainty. I have pics I could post.

This weekend I woke up with bumps/bites on my face & don’t know if they are bug bites. I looked on my mattress & box spring & I didn’t find any evidence of bed bugs. Can you help with identifying the bites on my face?
Hi Mara
Do the bites look anything like the ones on the photos above and do you feel any kind of discomfort in the affected areas, like itching or pain? Either way, if you are unsure about where the bites come from, I suggest you see your doctor about it.
