Brief Answer:
Bed bug bites

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

I can see multiple red, spots on the images which seem like due to bed bugs only I suggest you to use a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion to calm down the rashes. In addition I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g cetirizine 10mg tablet once a day for symptomatic relief from itching.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
