“Weird bites?”
Every so often I wake up with what looks and feels like mosquito bites I’ve compared what I have to photos of other common bug bites and they always just look like mosquito bites. It’s only happened possible twice in the past 2 weeks the first time I was out all night so I figured they were just from mosquitoes but this morning they just suddenly appeared. Could it be a mosquito or something else?

You might have mosquito bites, bed bug bites, flea bites, or an allergic reaction.
What to Do:
Check your sleeping area for signs of bed bugs or fleas.
Use anti-itch cream like hydrocortisone for relief.
Use insect repellent outdoors.
If the bites persist, consult a dermatologist.

Certainly could be mosquito bites, although other insects (i.e., fleas) can cause a similar rash.
