I've been getting these weird itchy bumps recently and they don't seem like bed bugs bites to me and I don't see any evidence of bed bugs on my mattress. Anyone have an idea what they might be from?
might be shingles or eczema
>>768092315
Never had chicken pox so I don't think I can get shingles. I used to have bad eczema as a kid though
Its probably eczema. You should go to a dermatologist and get a steroid cream.
>>768092358
are you retarded?
>>768092258
>little dipper pimples
You're the Kenshiro of pimples.
>>768092258
Do they come and go or are they constant?
>>768092358
You have your shit backwards, if you dont get chicken pox you can get shingles. Fucking dipshit
>>768092541
Come and go in different areas
>>768092434
Too poor unfortunately
>>768092471
I'm asking /b/ so maybe
>>768092581
I think you're the idiot here friend. Shingles comes from the same virus that causes chickenpox
>>768092258
bed bugs, sit back and wait for more bites
>>768092258
They look like bedbugs to me bro.
My gf had them and it took her about 2 months to find them, despite the name they don't just live in bedding. They were behind a picture on the wall in the end. She'd hung it up and made a hole in the wall for the nail and they'd come out of there.

I really hope it isn't because I can't afford a new mattress
>>768092258
Scabies, motherfucker.
Get ready for some hell.

Bedbugs
>>768092917
It's not really a rash just a bunch of big bumps
>>768092914
You've just got to the find the nest and nuke it with the spray, if this has just started you might be lucky and kill them before they've reproduced much
>>768092258
those are sand fly bites bud, smack it with some rid! it'll either blow up to a massive golf ball sized lump or just go away.

An ex gave me scabies and it started just like that. A line of bumps that itch like hell.
>>768092258
Nigga looks like the start of eczema. Whatever you do don't fucking scratch it. I'd show you a picture of my hand but it wouldn't show up well so I'll just tell you a story. When my eczema was real fucking bad I pulled off a thick layer of dead skin that went all round my middle finger from the second digit to the base. Anyway hemp cream is really good for it you can buy it at the body shop here in the UK for like 3 pounds.
If it is bed bugs they live in the seams of your furniture.. Had them in my couch. Luckily I took care of them within a day or two.
It's only ever a few at a time in random areas so it might not be bugs. I'll do an inspection for bedbugs and all that in the morning and probably nuke my bedding. Hopefully it is eczema
>>768093319
How dry is your skin near the area?
>>768093396
There isn't any chaffing or anything. The bumps usually show up around my elbows, back of my legs, and now my side
>>768093449
If you scratch them do they weep a clear fluid
>>768093535
Yeah after a while
>>768093581
Yeah that sounds like eczema to me
>>768093614
I'll do my best to stop scratching them. Thanks dude
>>768093211
>>768093658
OK just refer to my other post.
>>768092914
Dude casper mattresses are cheap and comfy and have a return policy
>>768092258
it's the little dipper
thats 10000% bed bugs and not any skin condition
>>768092258
If it mostly itches like crazy at night, then it’s probably scabies, bub
>>768092258
>Form of herpes. Not even trolling.
It's not that bad, perminent itchy body parts, rarely any split blisters or pain. Nothin better than scratching ya nuts imo.
100% though, it's herpes or fleas. Fleas are the only other things that bite in a line.
10% chance it's fleas.

Moaaaaar
>>768095369
Nursing student here-
This looks like classic scabies. Its caused by mites burrowing in the skin. Treatable with promytherin. Good luck
Scabies
>>768092258
That trailing pattern is quite common in bed bug bites.
>>768096393
>Shows a picture nothing like what op has.
Obviously it's herpes or fleas.
>>768092471
It makes sense. What's retarded about it?
>>768092494
Dear Faggot,
No one gets your shitty reference. Fuck you.
Pharmacist fag here. Bed bugs bites are usually in a line like ops picture. Scabies would be at his joints like wrist. Bed bugs 100%
>>768092258
It's shingles, see your doctor, they'll give you some pills you take for a few weeks that makes it going away (source: had shingles on my eyelid, that shit hurt like a MF)
>>768092258
BED BUGS OP!!!! Bumps like that close together are fucking bed bugs. CLean your fucking bed you animal!
Spooky just had the same shit on my knee. I work around a lot of spiders and shit so I figured it was that. Went away in like a week
>>768092258
You have aids. Kill yourself
>>768092917
This. And it's terrible. Get ready to lose 4 hours of sleep a night scratching your wrists and ankles to bloody stumps
OP I am an exterminator and work in pest control. These are almost definitely bed bug bites. What you can do is set up a carbon dioxide trap, as it is carbon dioxide they are attracted to. This will lure the insects into a container that can hold them for examination and proper diagnosis. Your first step after that is to call an exterminator is pest control company that deals in thermal remediation and background in chemical. Bed Bugs are extremely resistant to most chemicals on the market, makin f heat the most effective treatment.
