I keep getting bitten on my arms , stomach , back. They are red and just like mosquito bites (really itchy). Been to the nurse who gave me some cream and said they were'nt flee bites. Seems to be a mystery! Does anyone else suffer with getting bitten? Thanks

I must have tasty blood cause I get bites all year round - at the moment I have one on my hip and two on one leg!

They seem to happen at night ie I notice them in the morning, but my boyfriend NEVER gets bitten.....so I don't think it's fleas in my case either.

I hope someone can give an explanation.....
