: : : : : : I've been getting bitten lately. And I have no idea what is biting me. I'm assuming it's some kind of mite. They look like mosquito bites but they're not mosquitoes. And they're not fleas. They bite me mostly at nite when I'm in bed. And they're very itchy. But they dont bite my husband!! Why NOT?? This has been going on for over a month now, and I've been the only one getting bitten, and it's driving me crazy. Anyone got any idea why just me?
: : : : : They will sooner or later get to your husband if you sleep in the same bed.I think I have the rat mite but the doctor says they are scabies.For 6 months my husband's not been bothered by the mites until now when I am just starting to make progess.I thought he was immuned to them until a few days ago he woke up with bites on his neck & back.I'm so depressed because I thought they were getting better.What a nightmare this has been for us.Go to your doctor & get the cream.

: : : Hi, I am so glad it is not just me. For the last month or so I have been getting bit something terrible. I usually get them on the top of my arms,my chest,back and neck/jawline.I can't even wear a T shirt now because my arms are in such a mess. My husband and daughter have not been affected. The bites usually start as a little white lump that is very itchy. I scrarch and scratch and they become red and inflamed. I look like I have acne at the top of my arms. Sometimes the bites are like a hard red lump and very painful. I hpe this doesn't last forever or my skin will be scarred for life.

: So what have you guys found? The same thing is happening to my wife, yet my child nor I have been bitten? Any remedies? What were they?
I've been bitten but not my mom or my brother.It makes me scrach all night long i've got the cream and it is starting to work thank god.How do you get this mites?They are on my legs,butt,and on my feet.My mom thinks i brought them from one of my friends or something.I hope the cream works.
