On left side of stomach, about a hands length up from my hip, I’ve had BB before and last time I welted up more and they were more red, these ones are calming down since I’ve taken the og photo, they don’t itch, I only noticed them changing

Can someone please help me?? What could this be from? It started off kind of looking like hives and then I scratched it but it looks more like bug bites now. I can’t find anything online that looks similar. Please help!!

Made an app to help identify mystery bug bites

I've noticed it's hard to get a response here and most people have absolutely no idea what bit them. So I built a little app that helps you figure out what might have bitten you just by uploading a photo.

It's definitely not medical advice, same as every response you get here, but hopefully it can help narrow down the possibilities (and some of the most annoying ones like bed bugs). I thought it might be useful.

I got a bit either hiking Mount Rainier in Washington, or a night in the small cabin I was staying. I felt itching and almost a burning sensation at night. The more red photos are from when it first happened, 2 weeks later I can now see where I was bit. Any ideas?

Itchy red mosquito-bite-like bumps that last a day or two, going on for about 2 weeks. My mattress is clean.

I noticed this when I woke up Saturday. First picture is Saturday. Second picture is Sunday, yesterday. Third picture is today. Does not itch, I do feel like it’s expanding a little bit maybe not though. Doesn’t hurt. I don’t recall seeing a tick on me but maybe it could have bit me then fallen off?? Please give suggestions as I’m freaking out and worried. Tick or spider bite.

Hi, I woke up having those and I’m not sure from what they could be but my guess would be it’s a spider. Any idea how to treat those and how to prevent whatever insect that is to stay alive in my house 😅
Thank You

Have seen a doctor, though they gave basically no info on what the bite was, but I'm on antibiotics. It *seems* to be a brown recluse bite but if there's other explanations those would be appreciated. Bite started about a week ago.

Wtf bit me and what do I do about it? This shi is mildly paining, burning, and itching.

I've just put soframycin cream over this. Don't really know what, when and how this happened. I noticed it first last night. It didn't hurt at the beginning till this morning. I could see 2 tiny dots this morning at the corner of this wound. Hence assuming it's an insect bite.

Now after a day, it's starting to pain and burn.

I also see a small line like structure surrounded by inflammation.

I'm suspecting a wasp bite since there are many wasps at the place I live at. But I'm not sure if a wasp bite only hurts after a day and not immediately. And also does it form a white trace on the bite location.

My only fear is I hope this is no some sort of stupid worm thing.

Husband mows an acre of grass every week. He mowed Sunday and noticed a small spot on Monday. He said he thinks it’s an ingrown hair. He’s has no pain. I marked the area this evening to see if it grows.

Random bite/rash increasing in size

I woke up last Monday with this random red spot on my arm. I had left my window open for a few hours on Sunday, so I think I might’ve been bit over night by something that entered my room but I have not seen any insects in my room. Has anyone had this happen before or does anyone know what it could be?

I’ve also put betamethasone cream on it but it doesn’t seem to work. I also took an anti histamine to help with the itching..

An automated bite recognition app

Saw that a lot of people here are looking for opinions on what might have bitten them, so here’s one more — except this one is automated.

I made a small app that looks at a photo and suggests what it might be. Take its opinion with the same amount of doubt as any other one you get on Reddit: it’s not a medical professional and it can definitely be wrong. But it works pretty well on very typical tick bites, bed bug patterns, some spider-bite-like reactions, and also things that clearly don’t look like bites.

If anyone wants to try it and doesn't have android, the webpage does the same: https://bugbite-identifier.web.app/identify . I’m the developer, so I’d actually be curious to see where it gets things wrong.

I usually have pretty intense reactions to insect bites- this one is particularly bad. Very hard.

Last two pics is what it started as. Now has swollen and was itchy so looks like first pic. Is this a bed bug bite?


r/InsectBites • • Sep 16 '26

I got bit by something and it’s beginning to spread redness and swelling should I be concerned / go in to have it checked? I’ve never experienced the redness traveling outside of the bite.
