A member asked:
I am getting actual small burns on my ankles. they happen at night and i find them when i wake up to severe burning of my ankles...what could this be?

Bedbugs: Burns don't happen spontaneously. If you are waking up with small, red burning areas at your ankles, i would consider the possibility of bed bugs. Their bites can leave similar lesions. Strip all the covers off and check the creases of the mattress for them. They are increasingly common in the us and may require extermination services.
