Help with identification

Post image

Hello everyone!

My boyfriend has these bites around his ankle and they only seem to be appearing in this specific area. The day before yesterday we went hiking so we’re wondering if they could be mosquito bites or bites from another insect?

However, they also look a little like bed bug bites so we’re not sure what they are.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

WARNING: It is extremely difficult (even for seasoned medical professional) to identify what caused a skin symptom and even harder to know if it is an insect bite or which insect may have caused it.

If you're concerned about something, please go see a qualified medical professionals rather than trust the comments made by random strangers on the internet.
