for the past 2 nights now I keep waking up with my both wrists and now one of my thumbs itch. When I itch them I notice small with bumps. they look like mosquito bites but its to cold here in my town right now for mosquito's, I don't see them out doors or in my house.I only know of one type of insect in my home, that is tiny spiders. I don't have black widow or brown recluse. I have small almost clear spiders, and common small house spiders. I haven't seen any bed bugs or those types of bites on my skin. Help someone I want to know why in 2 days I have 6 bites on my wrists and thumb total. I looked up dust mites and all I find is red bumps. those are not this. look at pic with this and imagine that mump very white after you itch it.

One think to look for is check in between your box spring and matress and make sure no bug bites are visible and usually they come out at night only and they also hide behind your headboard so thats another place to look for bug bites. I know it sounds like alot to do but bring in a laundry hamper and throw all your sheets and pillows in the washer to be cleaned and then stick them in the dryer and that might get rid of some bugs you might not be able to see and it might help or it might not but i wish you the best of luck too. Just look everywhere even another thing to do is move your bed out and look under it and clean under neath of that to get what bugs might be under there as well.

Thanks. I don't have a bed headboard. I will try your other suggestions.

I think those are roach bites but I'm not sure. I have been bitten by roaches before and I was bitten on my eyelid. It was nasty. My eyelid bloated up for almost a week. I had to wear sunglasses whenever I have to go out.

Roach bites are the nastiest. I never wanna have those kinds of bites again.

I think they are roach bites too. I've been bitten by them before.

I think you've been bitten by blood sucker roaches. When I was little, I remember having a problem with those critters. They bite and leave a very itchy and bloated skin. The biting episodes continued for weeks and then totally disappeared. My whole family was bitten by them. I don't know how but rubbing baby oil on the affected skin lessened the bump on the skin.

I've done my research. I was bitten by house spiders. Thankfully now for days I haven't been bitten. I bought Bug spray that is for indoors and outdoors. Since I sprayed 2 days ago I have not been bitten. I am healing, I am so happy.

Still doing good. Not a spider or bug in site since the spray. I am so much happier now.

I guess it must be flea bites. They are almost invisible and they can appear from nowhere. It is very difficult to get rid of them and the bites are usually concentrated in one place.

I don't have any pets nor do they come in my home. How do you get flea's without any pets? my bites I get only at night when I am sleeping then when I wake up I get itchy surprises on my skin.

Maybe you walked next to a person or an animal which had fleas and you took them home. Maybe now they are in your bed and that is why you get them only when you are sleeping.

I hate those bites, especially when it's really hot in the middle of the night. When's it's summer, all the insects begin to crawl out of their hiding. Sometimes when I sleep during the summer, I randomly get bitten on the arm or leg but their small bites, not from a mosquito. I recently discovered little brown spiders wandering in my bedroom. I think they were the culprits.
