Thread: mosquito bites or something else?

So a couple weekends ago, my boyfriend, his brother and I all went fishing. My boyfriend and I usually go to two different spots, but his brother knew of a few more way back in some woods. I wore jeans because I thought we were going to one of our regular spots and it's bad for mosquitoes. By the end of the day and we got home, showered and changed I still had a few dozen bugs bites on my legs and feet, and a few on my thighs and back. I am beginning to think they weren't mosquito bites, they are itchy, but also hurt, most of them have gotten a bit bigger but I assumed that was from scratching them. There is one on my thigh that really hurts, is swollen and red. One on my ankle, I noticed this morning turned into a blister. I only saw mosquitoes on me, but I've never been bitten this badly in one day, even with jeans on. Has anyone else had this happen? Or does anyone know what else it could be?

I also have a rather large sore on my back. It also came up that day we went out into the woods to fish. It started out what felt like a bug bite when I was checking for ticks before I took a shower, (ps, I also found at least 7 tiny, tiny, tiny ticks on me that night too...but the worst bug bites aren't where I found the ticks.) I thought it was a tick at first, but my boyfriend said it was just a bump. But in the past couple of weeks it's grown to nearly an inch around and it hurts when I'm on my back or twist my back. After it seemed like it was getting bigger, I thought it could have been from sweating so much and my bra rubbing my skin...but I don't know. If anyone has input on that, I'd appreciate it too. Also, any suggestions on how to get rid of them and/or relieve the pain and itching? Calamine lotion isn't working.

I don't know if I supplied enough information, but if there are any questions, I'll add on the answer to them. Thank you in a advance.
