How can you tell bed bug bites from scabies?
Post Body

I have some bites on my body, especially around the genitals, groin area, thighs, chest and upper arms. They look very similar to mosquito bites, with a little red dot in the center. Some of them have a white dot in the center, instead of the red dot.

They itched a lot during the first three days. Now the itchiness has become less intense and the bites are beginning to fade.

There is a group of three bites in a row on my arm, which I read could be a signal of bed bug bites.

I showed the bites to a friend and she said it could be scabies.

Do scabies also begin to fade after a week? Do they also have a red/white dot in the middle?

How can you tell bed bug bites from scabies bites?

Thanks!
