A member asked:

I have very itchy bites on my legs (starting from ankles to behind the knee) from a couch thats been in a garage for about a yr just my legs while other skin was exposed with no bites. what bugs could it be and how do i make it go away asap?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

These may be bites from chigger mites ,pill bugs or possibly bedbugs. Spider bites are usually less itchy. Bedbug bites are usualy in a longitudinal line. Google how to detect such insects and what to do to exterminate them.
