Interesting Bites ... itchy small bumps with a white middle
Posted: 08-10-07 04:24am

I am finding these interesting bites on my ankles and its spreading slowly upward and down to my feet (even on my toes). I've even found some on my arms and other various places through-out the day.
I figured fleas... none on any of the animals according to the vet and they haven't had fleas for as long as i remember...
I thought bed-bugs.. but i don't see any.. I've washed the sheets and such too in hot-hot water to help it and vacuumed the bed and such and no luck on anything found... i even waited until between 3am and 6am to see if they would show up just in case...
they itch like made and the cream isn't working... any ideas? these are the best pictures i could get too so sorry if there aren't a lot... they show up as small bumps with a white middle.

Hi
Posted: 08-10-07 17:21pm

These bites look almost exactly like the bites I have been getting around my ankles. I do not get them on my feet or up my legs just around the ankles. It reminds me of a mosquito bite. You dont feel it bite you, it just itches horribly after the fact. I have two cats, they are indoor cats and I have searched them high and low for fleas. If anyone knows what these bites look like please PLEASE respond. Sneaky you arent alone.

Your pictures have dissappeared coincidentally...so i cant see how similar mine are...

saturday i was out in the woods for around 5 or 6 hours, and monday in an open field the entire day (open as in clay ground. no bushes or trees or grass)

monday night i noticed small red bumps appearing around my ankles, every day since they have spread, my ankles now have around 50 each, and they are sprinkled up my legs. Its now thursday.
This morning, i pulled a bug out of one of the bites. He was extremely small, and upon further examination, found one more crawling over my skin.

The bites itch like crazy!!! My leg feels like it crawling!

How did you get rid of yours? Do you have any advice?

Sneaky, you described the exact bites i am experiencing. I have small, white, itchy bites with no evidence of an actual bug. We don't have any fleas in our house, we have washed our bedding over and over, vacuumed and even bombed our bedroom but still have these bites, did you ever find out what they are? Please, any help from someone would be GREAT!!

signed, itching!
