Default What Insect Caused These Bites?

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.
TIA
Phil


Sounds like flea bites. Maybe you were near a dog in a public place ?
