Mosquito Bites Pictures
What do chigger bites look like?
I was up around Lake Erie this weekend, and the morning after being at Put In Bay, I had three itchy bumps on my shin. I figured they were Mosquito bites, as we were there until dusk. Later that day I discovered one on my shoulder and a couple of small red dots the top of both feet. Today, after being back for a day and a half, I realized I had one on the BOTTOM of my foot that itches like crazy.
It’s not poison ivy or anything like that – these are single bumps. I was wondering if they could be chigger bites, but every picture I see of them online is different. Mine LOOK like Mosquito Bites, but the bottom of the foot thing got me wondering. Just curious!
Oh, by the way, I wasn’t actually IN the lake, if that matters.
Chigger bites look a lot like mosquito bites — small red itchy bumps. They tend to bite where the blood is closest to the skin — often around elastic (of your socks, underwear, etc.). You can use calamine lotion or other anti-itch cream to make the itch go away. Don’t scratch them — if you scratch and break the skin, you can get them infected, and then you have a whole ‘nother set of problems.
Chiggers live in the grass, so you usually get them from sitting on grass or being around vegetation — although I know people who can get bitten while sitting on a concrete patio. Like with mosquitoes, the bugs seem to target some people more than others. They don’t live in the water.
IMPORTANT: a tick bite can look a lot like a mosquito or chigger bite — and ticks can carry Lyme disease. If the bite looks like it’s getting worse over time — if it gets bigger, or if you get a “ring” around it, or if you start feeling ill (like you have the flu — achy, fever, etc) — then see a doctor and remember to tell them you had an Insect Bite so they will test you for Lyme disease. Lyme disease can take a few weeks/months to manifest — so even if you get sick later on, be sure to remember you had a Bug Bite awhile back.
(And don’t worry — Lyme probably isn’t a problem! I just wanted to mention it for safety’s sake. My mom got Lyme disease this way — bite she thought was a mosquito at first. She was fine after a round of antibiotics.)
