Hi - I Began Having Scratches On My Forehead Below

Hi - I began having scratches on my forehead below the hairline & thought I had scratched myself.?
Then my ears turned very red & last Friday something black was on my right ear in my son-in-laws
vehicle & when I brushed this off there was a very small bite which started to bleed .( ihad had thought this
black spot was mascara. I started working at a school in Feb , part time & this has started occurring since
then & lately. I then saw , what looked like a red scratch on the back of my neck I have samall bites ocassionally on my right hand only.I also get bruising. I now have a very itchy mark on the middle of my
back & this morning the red scatch on my neck is back. I had abed-bug infestation in July 2015 , which
was heat - treated & dog inspected , costing a lot of money . No sign of activity, I have also been told I
might have contacted lice from the scool, My DR, is away so I went to a DR< at awalk-in clinic and he told
me "I did not hane bed-bugs or lice , but rather diagnosed Excema ? & gave me a prescription for cortisone
cream to apply . He did not examine my scalp , which is very itchy . Help , it is easter & I am to go to an acerage for easter. I will not be sleeping there , however will be with my grand children sat & sunday ay
another place. I am totally at a loss & do no want to spread anything !!! I am on a # of medications and am
65 . Please help !! - Thanks Joan ( I am under a lot of stress due to our Alberta economy )
