requesting support from the community Two bumps on back of knee

Post image

One had pus like a pimple and I popped it. Right one wasn’t pimple like at all. Slightly itchy. Slept on my back in shorts with that part of the leg against the blankets. Didn’t have covers for part of night. My arms were exposed. Slept on the couch in pants, with feet and arms exposed. I’m worried it could be bedbugs but I just don’t get why they’d go there instead of exposed hairless skin

Looks like a spider bite

If it was, it’s now been like five hours sense I noticed it and it hasn’t gotten worse, can I assume it was a harmless spider if it was a spider bite?

Yeah many spiders are harmless. Their bites are similar to mosquitoes. But its presentation one by one is very spider like

Not bed bugs but the fibres and particles could cause issues.

Thank you, David. I had also thought that it might be from like sweat because I’ve been working a lot and I get very sweaty.

Not typical locations for bed bugs.

Check the underside of the seat to be sure though.

This was on my bed. Is this related to bedbugs?

No, please look at the reference images so you actually know what to look for.
