Hi all

As the subject, I have numerous bites to ankles and lower legs.
Start off itchy and irritating, but when you scratch the itch it turns into
a larger red lump thats more itchy and sore and bleeds!
Haven't spent much time in the garden so the blighters may not actually
originate from there.
Don't have pets and haven't consorted with any likely suspects recently.

Anyone any ideas.
Location is West Hull east yorkshire.

Have you by any chance moved into new accommodation or started work
somewhere new? These sound like flea bites and the fleas could be lying
around waiting for a juicy meal to walk past!
