I am in hk, so it's 2am now and it's a Chinese Holiday. I will go find a doctor tommorrow, but in the mean time can you guys help.
At first I thought I got some bug bites. So I cleaned and bleached everything in my bed.
So a moment ago when I tried to sleep, i get burning itches again on my legs. Turned on the lights and I see a crap load more of rashes and bumps.
They are very itchy and look like a round bump.
Here's the pics I took with my phone.

Do they look like freaking scabies?
I get the symptons, itchy red bumps, even worse at night.

the good news, Mr. Anderson, is that you will live.
the bad news, is that you will live under ground :)

I thought it's bed bugs too. Like I said, I cleaned and bleached my sheets. Sprayed some chemical stuff into the mattress. I even used a different blanket.

My vote is for fleas - that's what my legs looked like when we stayed at the relatives' house and they had dogs, cats, etc all over. My doc said it was fleas.

I saw the bedbug experts do this on TV in the US. They were checking hotel rooms for bedbugs. They had some knowledge about American hotel beds. The headboards could easily be removed from the wall. They removed the headboards and inspected them. They found shedded exoskeletons of bedbugs behind the headboards in the rooms with bedbugs. Maybe this is helpful to see if those critters are your problem. Try to get some diphenhydramine or Benadryl for the itching. I'm not a doctor, but its one of the meds I carry when I travel.

I like you sig...I should adopt it too.

OP: Agree with above, not scabies. Look more like bites from ants.....vs. Hives. Ya, go see a doc.

looks like the little swelling bite marks that you get from ants or mosquito bites.
