I got like 10 bug bites at once on my leg the other day and have just been getting more every day.

Woke up this morning, immediately checked my arms and legs for new bites, and nothing. No new ones. A few hours latter, I have two new ones on my leg and a new one on my hand.

This is just getting obnoxious.

Wash your sheets, shower more often and see if it continues after that. Frequenting here has shown me that most have irregular showering habits. >__<'

That's my best guess. Either that or spiders.

Stop it, man...

Seems like midges bite repeatedly in the same area, while mine are somewhat spread out. Good guess considering what I said in the OP though.

Guess I have to call someone.

You might have dermatitis then, is you skin sensitive?

I've been getting the same thing. I've checked around and haven't seen any bed bugs or anything like that.. I keep my shit pretty clean, too.

Thanks for trying to help guys. This was more of a rant topic than anything, but I do appreciate it. <3

If you guys are actually interested, they're only slightly itchy and little swollen on the first day, super itchy and fairly swollen on the second and third and then not really itchy at all unless I think about them and they're not really swollen either.

A first day bite: GxvTkbs
Two second or third day bites: ozPkcbs (That's my foot in case you were wondering.)
Four bites the fourth day: mx3vpo9 (Just above my knee. I don't know why they look like that now...)

All possibilities. I'm really hoping they aren't bed bugs though. Not entirely sure if they are scabies though. I looked those up earlier and it doesn't quite fit.

Seems possible, but they're way too spread out for it to be very likely.

According to my acne, yes, extremely. (It's finally not been absolutely awful this past month, so I might finally be growing out of it at 22 years old! Woohoo!) But I don't think that's it.

You don't really out grow, dermatitis. If anything, it can get worse as you get older. A lot of detergents and soaps contain solvents that can become irritants to people with sensitive skin; ex: propylene glycol.
I missed the pictures, but if you really suspect insects.. you should wash your sheets, immediately. :x And again, definitely try a gentler detergent for a month, preferably one without perfumes and dyes. At least try to rule out it isn't an allergic response in the meantime.

Weird, I don't know why the images disappeared.

Let's try again...
A first day bite: U3DhjPE
Two second or third day bites: D1j94Ez (That's my foot in case you were wondering.)
Four bites the fourth day: PG75gnW (Just above my knee. I don't know why they look like that now... They looked like the others did yesterday.)

I meant I might finally be growing out of my acne, not dermatitis, which I don't believe I have. I just washed my sheets two days ago too.

Check along the seams of your mattress for Tiny Hitlers. They can grow to about the size of Lincoln's head on a penny so can be pretty hard to spot. The "bite" marks are likely from the Tiny Hitlers pouring Zyklon B on your skin.

Fun fact, Tiny Hitlers reproduce by Piercing their mates abdomen with their Tiny Hitler penises and injecting Tiny Hitler Semen into their mates body cavity.

yeah my eczema comes back with a vengeance if I use the wrong things (or get super stressed)

Those do look like bites, though if those spots were where you had flare-ups previously, it could be that.

Like 5 more bites so far today, and I still haven't seen any bugs apart from a couple flies in the bathroom and a spider when I was cleaning my room.

Can't believe no one has said bed bugs yet.

You should lay out some sticky traps and see if you can catch any.

Same here! If I use the wrong soaps or hair products (When I had hair lol), I get a reaction.. And it doesn't help that my skin is oiler than most and to top it off, I have more body hair than most. >__<'
It's one of the reasons I tend to be so meticulous when it comes to cleaning and general hygiene.. My wife usually cites the fact that I scrub the the washing machine monthly, as evidence I might have an obsession.. :x

Oh those look like bug bites, though the third one is a little hard for me to see on my phone. You might want to remove your sheets and vacuum all sides of your mattress and set out some bug traps and see what you catch.. :x
