Bites from bugs...: It may be impossible on the outset to tell the difference. But a good dermatologist surely should be consulted to know what and if there is any treatment other than time to help you heal. I always worry about secondary infections when there is a lot of skin injury.

Chiggers vs bed bugs: 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. * chigger's bites often have a small red in the center of a welt & >.
