I have been getting more and more bug bites for the past 2 months now. Once I get them they wont go away. I started getting them when I went out to my wife's family's house in the country so that seems normal. But once we came back to our home in the city i kept getting more and more bites. They don't seem to be in any pattern. There are a lot of them clumped up on my ankle but on my legs and arms there are just a lot of individual ones. Then on my knuckles on my hands there are a few clumped together. My wife does not have any bug bites. My dog has been itching a lot too (inside/outside dog) but we have given her flea and tick baths and the dog has frontline. I have been washing the bites twice a day and putting cortisone on them and they still wont get better and I am still getting more. What could they be and how do I get rid of them?

First off there are a lot more mosquitoes this year than in the past. Also are you sure that it is bug bites? It could be you rubbed up against a poisonous plant on the farm, I would go and see a doctor. This could be a really bad allergic reaction.

I have been getting similar bites again clumped on the ankle and slowly spreading over the last few days. My sister and mum a
Have them too although my sisters are bigger and she has loads. We have 3 dogs but they dont live in the main part of the house and they are all regularly flea treated. I'm baffled and hope they don't last months like yours. My 3 brothers and dad are bite free. :/

Numerous bites in Butt area

I've been getting multiple bug bites as well at home, when I travel. They all seem to be clumped up in my butt area and it's quite frustrating. My dermotologist thought it was bed bugs, but i checked my bed and frame for them and nothing. My allergist said it was a bug called Noseums. Not sure what else to do and it's very frustrating!! Any ideas on what to do? What it could be?
