Those bites kinda remind me of chiggers, red mites, red bugs...etc. The are tiny tiny little things that burrow under the skin. Cure is to deprive them of oxygen, and then they will die and go away. You do that by applying vaseline, neosporin, or whatever, to the area. And in a few days you should be better, if that is what they are. I started to mention that a long time ago, but I thought everone was getting better. David came home from the beach in NC last summer with a really bad case of them all along his arms and legs. Nowhere else on him though, just where the water he was messing in had washed away the bug spray.

These are not chiggers. Chiggers, (red bugs) I have known since early early childhood. This ain't them.

nother note. I would disinfect the area first, with hot water and betadine or something. Then apply the vaseline or neosporin.
