Bug Bites??
Posted: 07-04-05 01:25am

Hello, my son woke up last week with what I thought were mosquito bites on his leg, the left one and in a line from his knee to his ankle, the next day he was playing in the sprinkler and I had to stop him because they looked really red, they had turned into blisters, and they all broke, it is really gross. So the next day I called the dr and she said that a lot of mothers are calling in with bug bites on children. And I explained that they were gross and blistering and all that and she said to put on neosporen, my son says they dont itch or hurt. Then my middle son has one on his left thigh, and my youngest has one on his inner right thigh. No one can tell me what they are?? Has anyone had these. My husband nor I have had any. What is that??? I just saw a thing on the news about bed bugs, but anything I gooogle, nothing says what exactally a bite looks like, none of them say anything about blisters, and I took their beds apart and found nothing?!!! Any help would be greatful, thanx!!!

I use balm 911 and I just enjoy it. They say it helps against acne, pimples, and sunburns. I verified it - it's true. It's autumn now, so i'll wait for the next summer season to check its work against bites

Oh my, I have the same thing marylb, and ive been looking all over online to see what it is and I cant seem to find anything on these bites.


Well for me I think it happened ever since I pulled out an old shirt out of my drawer and wore it to sleep. Either that or I was thinking bed bugs. My bug bites just keep multiplying and sometimes I just get one here and there. They look like mosquito bites and some look like spider bites and some of them are small and red and some are big. After a couple days some of the bites get white head looking on the tip, but they dont itch at all.


Mostly on my thigh and stomach, but I get some on my calves, and arms and recently I just got it on my behind.
I seriously dont know what to do, and im going to see the dermatologist next week but honestly I dont think theyre going to know anything.


Also ive been cleaning my sheets all my clothes and putting insect bombs in my room but it doesnt seem to help. My boyfriend got one bite with me sleeping with him but its been three weeks and he hasnt gotten any since, I usually sleep at home with my parents but they never get any. I keep getting them come on bug bite specialists!! Helppp!

"if anyone knows anything pleaseeeeeee let me know"""

I have a 20 month old son. Last halloween he broke out on his arm is what my family thought was chicken pox. I took him to the doc the next day and was told he was bitten by a spider. About 5 days later he began to break out some where else. 2-3 days later, again, he had new bites; and so on and so forth for many more weeks. We went back to the doc 3 or times between nov. 1 and valentines day. Finally he sent me to the derm, who said "bug bites, possibly bird mites." he was doing pretty good for several months (april- the end of july) but now all the sudden it's starting again. He literally has more than 30 popped, blistered, "bites". I think there's something that the doctors aren't looking at. I remember last year, as well as this year that he started to get crabby and irritable just before the problem started up. He also starts to randomly throw-up his meals. I'm at a loss as to what to do. Anyone have any good ideas? I'm willing to try just about anything at this point if it will make it stop. I'm embarrassed to let people see his legs in public. I feel like people will think he gets completely neglected.
