Do I have a stye or a mosquito bite?

Allergic reaction? Mosquito bite? Bed bug bite? Insect bite?

• So, I remember waking up after a 3 hour nap to scratching my knee. I was like "why is my knee so itchy?" and I raised it up and found about 8-10 huge mosquito bite bumps on my knee. Like when a mosquito bites you and then it gets itchy, and that bump appears. So it all appeared. i was wearing jeans. What happened? I dont have bed bugs either. Theres spiders in my room though sometimes and ive seen a baby 5 lined skink before haha, Ive only seen 1 mosquito in my room once. Other than that, nothing else I guess. The places I went out before I took my nap was to my church for a party. That was about it. Any help what could of happened? A allergic reaction or anything?

• Answer:

  It sounds like hives, which is a mild skin reaction to something you may have rubbed against. If it's bed bugs or fleas then these marks are going to become a regular occurrence, and it would be unusual to get a cluster of bites from a flying insect(unless anyone knows different?). So I guess you should wait and see. You can see a page full of bedbug bites at http://www.pest-control-cornwall.co.uk/bed-bugs.html. Hope this helps.
