Learn to look after yourself by keeping your personal things clean. If you are old enough to write in to ask about the bites, you are old enough to change your own bedsheets. Dust mites and ticks can bite leaving itchy red spots. Besides changing the bedsheets you can also air and sun your bed cover and blanket regularly. Wash these when the days are dry and hot as these beddings are thick and take a longer time to dry if you do not use a dryer.
If it turns out you have chicken pox, the more you have to have your beddings clean as you would be spending more time in bed to recuperate.

If they have a watery bubble that bursts and then gets a scab like coating, it is chicken pox. You don't give your age, but maybe you should be changing your own sheets. There really is such a thing as bed bugs. There are also dust mites which are a bug.

You really need to change your sheets.
If it's chicken pox, you may have a fever. If it's bug bites, there is a chance that they may carry other diseases.
If the condition persists, you might wish to see your doctor or a dermatologist. There are other disease that create spots on the body as well.

maybe you have bed bugs...have you traveled lately(you could have brought them back)....bug bites don't look like chicken pox though, and bug bites wouldnt itch as much as chicken pox.
if it is chicken pox, you will soon be covered in them,so you'll know.

I am guessing you have bug bites maybe even spider bites. Those sheets need to be changed is there a reason you can,t do it yourself. Your mother is not your maid.

We are NOT doctors, dear, and you really need to go to the doctor for a correct diagnosis. And if your mom has not changed the bed sheet for two months, I am glad I don't live at YOUR house!
