Bite marks!: Firstly, don't get bitten! use a lotion with 100% deet, long pants and shirts which are lightweight and put a rubber band arountd your ankles to keep out bugs. The marks left from your scratching will fade with time, if you stop picking at them. Use of topical otc Hydrocortisone will often help the itching and healing. See your doctor if problems persist.
