A member asked:
Feet bitten by something during sleep indoor. 1-2cm bites got very red 2 days later -> purple over next few days->faded. not bed bug/mosquito. what?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unsure: You cannot tell the type of bug from the bites themselves. Certainly bedbugs are a possibility but if you have pets, fleas would be a consideration. In addition, it is important to note if any one else got similar bites. Either way the lesions are treated for their symptoms.
