What's the definitive way to determine if the bumps on my body are pimples or bed bugs?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
????: Tough to tell. Bedbug bites usually itch and you may find them around the edges of mattresses among other places. Acne does not commonly itch and is found in areas like face, chest, back. Have your doctor take a look.

Ways to tell: Bed bug bites may cause no symptoms or signs in some people. When there is a reaction, it may not show until several days after the bed bug has bitten. It can cause pink, swollen, itchy lesions on the skin. What can be telltale is when there is a linear track of lesions from sequential feedings – but that does not always occur. Here are some tell tale signs that your bites are being caused by bed.
