Hey, I don't know if anyone else has this problem, or would know how to treat them, but I've been getting bites it seems every night, (might be daytime too), and I can't for anything figure out what they are. They start just as a little red spot like a mosquito bite, but then swell and get infected. They're circular and become red about an inch or two around sometimes. They ache very badly, but itch like nothing else too. They eventually break, drain, and heal into a small purplish-red scar that wont go away. I get several every 24 hrs. Mostly on the front of my lower legs, but once awhile on my arms, once on my back, and once in my eye X( I have been searching everywhere for an answer of what these bites (?) might be, and why I'm getting them, but can't really seem to find an answer. I think they might be no-see-um bites, but i really don't have a clue. I have several siblings, and a few of them got a a couple of these bites this summer, but they were much more mild. Some of my siblings didn't get any at all. Of my whole family, I'm the one who's plagued by them. It's awful and frustrating. I'm 16 and only began to get them this year, after we moved this spring to a different farm (about 2 miles from our old place), here in the foothills of the TN mountains. Just to give as much criteria as possible...there is a creek and woods right near our house. I'm ALWAYS outside, on horseback mostly. I'm in the woods sometimes, but not way too often. My lil bro was the first one to get the bites, when he was helping my dad take out a tree that was on the fence. Then they somehow got to me. I'm the only one who gets them anymore. Any ideas as to what they might be, and how I can treat them?? --Thanks alot
