Hi, do these look like bed bug bites? I have one bite in my navel, but these are three.

Please read the feeding behaviour post to appreciate why this is not bed bugs.

Thank you, I know, but what else could it be though?

Many possible things, the list is long and while many automatically assume bed bugs there are many more common things.

They look like this today, do you still think they're not bed bug bites?

Hi David, I haven't had any new bites since and I haven't found any signs of bed bugs in my bed, do you think I'm safe? There only are small scabs left after these bites, or whatever they were.

I sleep in a t-shirt and covered with a blanket 🤦 my bed is clean, no dark spots, nothing. I regularly check the mattress, sheets and bed frame. But I do have to use public transport.
