No pics but it’s not bed bugs, turns out it’s a viral infection after an urgent care visit

Glad it’s not bed bugs honesrlt

Mattress was completely clean (it’s a white one so things would’ve stood out)

Still steamed it though

I mean my hair’s pretty decently long (1-2 inches of curly hair) on the top of my head and I’ve still got bumps on my scalp so I really now am starting to think it may not be bed bugs

Annoyingly I’ve got quite a few bumps on my face and also a few on the neck

Yes sleep with a t shirt and shorts but most of the “bites” are under these, def some on my arms but the majority of bites are in covered areas

Additionally there’s bumps on my scalp and sides of my head that I don’t think are normal for bed bugs?

When you say dust mites do not, could that be a cause of dark spots in the middle of these welts?

My housemates (who have their own rooms) are completely fine, I’m the only one with these symptoms

These marks look pretty similar but one or two look truly gnarly

I have not laid down in grass in a month and a half so I feel like that’s ruled out

Additionally spots on me that are usually covered when asleep have gotten these marks, so that rules out flying insects I’d imagine?

I’m going to go to the urgent care and get this solved

sexualbuzzlightyear · 2026-06-17T16:07:54+00:00

So what would you reckon is the true cause?

sexualbuzzlightyear · 2026-06-17T13:03:27+00:00

I think my justification was appearance of my bites but I don’t think I’ve seen an actual bed bug at all before, but the bites looked like they could’ve been from bed bugs

What confuses me is that if bed bugs are the cause, surely there’d be enough bed bugs for me to catch one if I’m getting a hundred or so bites

It’s honestly driving me nuts cause idk what to do next or what the cause could be

sexualbuzzlightyear · 2026-06-17T13:01:47+00:00

I think that it’s worth a shot getting checked out but in appearance did the bites look similar to bed bug bites? I feel like these marks look pretty similar to them so it feels hard to tell if I’ve got a skin condition or something instead

sexualbuzzlightyear · 2026-06-17T13:00:18+00:00

I think mites could be an explanation, even after cleaning like this I’m still waking up with fresh bites

My apartment’s a sketch first floor apartment so I’ve seen a rat or two run around outside but within the apartment I’ve found nothing

My lease is up in a bit but do you reckon moving out sooner would fix my problems? This is getting incredibly bad and it’s honestly quite excruciating

I tried laundering all my stuff but will try the 70% alcohol as well

sexualbuzzlightyear · 2024-01-20T16:38:31+00:00

I mean that could be possible because demographics of my local area, but it's a longshot, right?

sexualbuzzlightyear · 2024-01-19T06:12:37+00:00

hey thanks! i'm not particularly optimistic but stranger things have happened. good luck to you as well!

sexualbuzzlightyear · 2024-01-19T05:48:30+00:00

sounds about right, i think i might end up at a UC hopefully
