Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
This doesnt sound to me like bed bugs an this is more likely some allergic reaction or some dermatologic disease so you should rule out these 2 first. it can be allergic reaction to some cosmetics or soap so try to find what exactly is irritating your skin. I dont think this is related to your cancer disease or chemo and radioth unless this was recently done.
Wish you good health. Regards
