A member asked:

Could the small red bumps that come and go within the hour be bedbug bites. silly i know but im just wondering. noone else has these bumps?

No: A bite would disrupt the skin enough to leave a reactive mound that would usually last for several days. Bumps that come and go is short order are more likely allergic in nature.

Doubt it: Bed bug bites may have no sx's/signs except for 2 small skin puncture points. A reaction may show from an hr to several days later. It can cause itchy, pink, swollen, lesions w clear center. If hypersensitive blisters may occur. Telltale sign is linear track of lesions from sequential feedings – doesn't always occur. Bites are in areas exposed while sleeping-arms, shoulders,neck & legs.
