So I can't tell if these are bug bites, or he's allergic to something outside. it was his first time playing in the…

@kelseys, looks like chigger bites!

Looks like bed bugs or chiggers.

@snowbaby313, @cowgirlffa90 I just googled Chigger bites and it doesn't look like that.... they're flat red dots and Google shows like swollen bumps with pus and really red... bed bugs can be outside? because I know we don't have that problem inside...

Definitely chiggers. Put some witch hazel on a cotton ball and keep applying. It will help to dry it out and it won't be as itchy.

@jennatess, I put some eczema cream on it for the itch, which so far it doesn't seem to bother him at all, but just in case, and it has oatmeal cream in it and I know so far that has helped with any of his skin problems.

@snowbaby313, @cowgirlffa90 @jennatess I think you guys might be right... I just felt them and even tho they look flat they kind of are bumpy. is this common tho?, ive never heard of chigger bugs.

@kelseys, super common, and very big in Illinois. I remember being covered in chigger bites growing up back home.

@jennatess, that's what I was reading. but I need er heard of them ever. who knows I've probably had it and mistaken it for something else. do they go away on their own? or?

@kelseys the bites will go away, but I know when my boys and I got bit bad last year I used a lot of cortisone cream and benadryl anti itch lotion. They are pretty itchy and can be painful too.
