Dermatologist Questions Itchy

Curious bites

I recently have had quite a few bites which are very itchy, like flea bites. I have 2 cats of which 1 is outside more than the other cat and he likes to catch mice etc. so I assume the fleas were from the cats. My concern is that they don’t look like flea bites because of the centre dot which is darker to the rest of the affected area. This was approximately 3 days ago and I’ve got these bites all over my body,

Unlikely to be fleas as fleas can’t fly and usually just get the legs. Could dark spots in the center be blisters and this is chicken pox?
