A member asked:

What are these red bumps all over my body? i keep seeing that theyre bed bug bites but i really do not want to believe that theyre bed bug bites. theyre a bit red, not itchy, and they feel dry and scaly?

These red bumps need to be inspected by your PCP /dermatologist. Do you have any pets at home. How long do you have these lesions. Are these bumps appearing in clusters or are discreet. Location of the bumps matters. Pl. consult your PCP.

I have never seen anyone with bed bug bites. Where do you live? Are there any bugs that are visible on your mattress. How old is the mattress? Do you keep your residence clean. I have been told that if there are bed bugs, one can combat them by placing baking soda on the mattress, especially in the corners. Let sit for extended period of time, then vacuum. Might only be anecdotal, though.
