You may have bedbugs: Please try to determine that you do not have bedbugs, even if you were bitten initially some where else, bed bugs may have hitched a ride with you and infested your bed.

Agree w Dr. Singh: Once bedbugs are in your home- they keep on biting. 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 >.
