I don't think this is bed bugs, but I have no clue what it is. I had spent the night over at my girlfriend's house 2 weeks ago and noticed I had a bug bite on my toe. It was just one night and than a few days had past and I noticed (while in my own bed at my house) I had a few bites on my legs. Just on the front and not the back and the bites always came in pairs or in 3s. 2 on my shin, 2 on my knees, 3 on my thigh. This is when I thought it was bed bugs, so I cleaned my sheets, cleaned my room, haven't been sleeping on my bed since (I now sleep on a leather couch). Weird thing is, noone else is getting bitten. Even after sleeping on the couch, I continue to have bites on my lower back, a couple more on each side of my buttocks, each bite is parallel to the next.

I continue to have bites even though I have left my house and now am about 2 hours away at school. I just got another fresh set of bites on my hip. Most of the bites have scabbed over now, but they still itch like no other.

I'm 23, I shower every day, wash my clothes every week. Anyone know what this is? Thanks.

Here are some pics:

~Original bite on my toe, notice the 3 bites at the bottom, but also the bite near the nail. Which was there since day 1.


~4 on my left leg


~3 on my left thigh


~3 on my lower back

I kind of have the same thing but my bites look different. Their swollen and they burn if you touch them :/
