It sounds like flea bites on you guys, are you seeing any on the dog? If yes you need to put the dog on Frontline topspot and it will kill all the fleas in the house and on the dog. You can get it at any vet office. Think about it, if the dog had fleas and you bathed him with flea shampoo, any that are still in your carpet or house are going to avoid the dog for a small time till the shampoo smell wears off and go after the next best thing you! Good luck

It sounds like fleas. Fleas are one of the most difficult things to get rid of. If you do shampoo your dog, make sure you rinse him off good. Combing him too with a flea comb would be good. Flea collars work real good. There are a lot of different brands and prices too. Try Frontline or some other kind of flea drops that will repel the fleas on your dog. You might want to try spraying Lysol spray on your furniture and carpets. Vacuum everything down after the Lysol dries. I had a real bad infestation as I had 6 cats in my house at once. They got fleas from a stray that used to lay on my door mat. The fleas got in from under the door and had a feast on my cats. I did everything that I mentioned above and never had that problem again. I hope this helps as the marks on your face and daughters legs are flea bites. Good luck!

Hopefully, it's fleas, but it could be a type of tinea (ringworm), or it could be scabies (mange).
Please, go to the vet to identify what it is.
