my dd keeps getting these little bumps that look like bites. Usually on her legs. She's the only one in our house getting these. the IL"s and my parents both had /have fleas at their house. So it's possible we brought home some fleas. But we have NO pets and our house is big. So they couldn't have lived too long without something to eat. I don't know if these are flea bites or something else. I checked our bed/mattress and didn't find anything that looked like bed bugs or fleas. This morning she woke up with these little bites. I'll try to post a picture but not sure how well it will turn out on here. It was a pict with my phone.

The bites are hard to see in the picture but they are large roundish areas with small whitish pin point centers

FWIW, those do not look like the times we've had flea problems and had bites. Our flea bites are little red bumps, not big reddish spots.

That looks more like hives than flea bites to me.

They look like spider bites to me.

after the redness went away they were just little tiny spots.
