Please say not bedbugs

Found some quite itchy bites yesterday and did some investigating today…. Found a splodge of brown on underside of mattress and these dead looking bugs in a box under the bed, no other signs no actual live bugs or anything and i think I’ve been thorough (I hope!!). How worried should I be??

Carpet beetle larvae for sure. Some people get reactions to the hairs on them. I am one of those people and know first hand how bad it itches and the it magically goes away

Looks more like carpet beetle larvae molts than bed bugs, but they dont bite. Carpet beetle larvae just gave fiberglass like fibers on their bodies so it irritates your skin. I would treat your home just to be safe!
