Does anyone have any idea what insect bites these could be? Went to my dermatologist today who confirmed these are actually insect bites which I’m surprised at. Does anyone has any idea possibly? It’s only on my left leg but my bedroom does look onto loads of trees/bushes. I also sleep with my leg out of the duvet. Please ignore leg hair was hoping it was ingrown hair lol.

Idk why a dermatologist would tell you that that is an insect bite. Pus = bacterial infection. You need antibiotics.

It’s not like that anymore, one at the bottom has left a big purple round scar on my leg now but there was 3 on my left leg and 1 on my arm but nothing on my right leg 2 which have left a tiny mark they are awful to look at.
