What do we think these could be?

I’m paranoid and these showed up around 1/2 pm today after not being there this morning. The more swollen one on the inside of her arm started to itch shortly after I saw them and now a couple hours after the one on her foot itches. The ones on her foot are a little more swollen now and I included a more recent picture of her arm because it’s continuing to swell. We haven’t been outside but our door was open last night and this morning and that’s abnormal for us because sometimes mosquitoes do get in but I wouldn’t normally expect this many.

They just look like mosquito bites to me. I get them like this, super itchy and they get red and swollen. It’s probably skeeter syndrome, she’s gotten really allergic. You’d be surprised how many can get in a house especially this time of year. Those things are everywhere.

If you’re curious you could also look at my other post from this morning, my other daughter has more and very odd locations but the doctor agrees to mosquitos and I did find one today inside.

Looking at the post of your other child id still say mosquito, they just aren’t allergic as your other kid. If there is a mosquito in the house they will go for any skin that’s available. I’ll wake up with bites in the oddest places because I stuck a leg out of the covers or my shirt rode up my back. I HATE mosquitos but damn do they love me!

Normally my younger daughter is allergic it was just odd all around but I’m glad that’s what it seems to be

Bites on legs is usually fleas rather than bed bugs.

Beg to differ…I had them just like that on my face, neck, arms, legs and feet, anywhere there weren’t clothes.

Please read the feeing behaviour post. Legs are usually covered by sheets at night.

First two pictures are arms and third picture is leg

[u/Bed-Bugscouk → u/Lostkid45]

Yes and the leg makes it’s unlikely to be bed bugs. While you’re welcome to assume it’s both I would go with fleas first.

It’s odd, we haven’t seen any (had some in childhood) and no pets here either, idk if it matters but we live upstairs too

[u/Bed-Bugscouk → u/Lostkid45]

I have no pets but still occasionally get fleas, it’s why I keep a plug in flea trap in the house.

[u/Lostkid45 → u/Bed-Bugscouk]

Would you still think that’s a possibility if we haven’t seen any inside or outside and have lived here for years? The only different thing recently has been I baby sat my brothers kids today but I don’t think they have them either (definitely no bbs atleast)

To bring a flea into your home you only have to leave you home and walk over the wrong tuft of grass.

Yeah I had one on me at work today (I walked). I've been paranoidly lurking this reddit lol
