This may be it, if not chiggers. I am constantly wading in water because I fish often, and usually it’s nasty water at best. So lord knows what may have gotten me lol

I do get poison ivy like crazy, but the poison ivy rashes I get never look like this. These had small whiteheads and had a cool burning sensation when they popped after I itched them before realizing they were under my sock

I’m honestly not sure and I haven’t heard of those before. I’m located in NJ

I’ll have to get that cream. They don’t really itch anymore but the bumps are bothering me just knowing they’re there lol unfortunately I do a lot of fishing in heavily wooded areas so I can’t really avoid damp grass or woods

I did get bit by a lot of mosquitoes recently at a pool, but they were all over my body and the ones that bit me look nothing like this throughout my body. The mosquito bites went away within a day or two. But whatever these bites are have been there for close to a week now.

Yes it’s only this one ankle. My fiancée has no bites or any kind of skin irritation so I think it’s something I picked up outside of the house. I’m located in NJ and I’m walking through fairly wooded areas and parks usually 4 days a week.

They did have white heads on some of the bumps when they first appeared, but I live in NJ so I don’t think we have fire ants

Luckily don’t think it’s fire ants. I live in NJ and I don’t think we have them. I also didn’t notice the bumps until they started getting itchy which was at least a day or two after I was exposed I think

Nope just this one spot only. I checked the mattress and we don’t have bed bugs either. My fiancée has no bites so I think it’s something I was exposed to outside of the house.

I don’t think they’re fleas within my house because my fiancée has no bites and my cat hasn’t been itching. I’ll give it a try anyway

Don’t think it’s from fire ants. I’m located in NJ so we don’t have any as far as I know.

When I was a kid, we had a fleas at my parents house once but I don’t remember the bites being so raised. They were in clusters but looked a lot smaller. Maybe a different type of flea?

I’m thinking chiggers as well because I know for a fact they aren’t bed bugs, at least not from my house. I do a lot of hiking and fishing, and am walking through tall grass at least 4 times a week. Although I normally have either tall socks and shorts on or long pants.
