If your bumps are big, most likely you have mosquitoes, if small bumps, than it might be flea bites!
If you have animals treat them for fleas! I use frontline or advantix for dogs, advantage for cats! If you have a cat or dog , put them on a white surface, and rub their hair! If you see little brown specks that turn red when you wet them, than that is flea poop, and the cat or dog has fleas!
If it is fleas, vacuum and wash everything, and treat your carpet with flea powder or spray, you can get it at any pet store. Do this once a week for a couple of weeks, as new fleas will hatch.
Good luck!

It could be fleas or bedbugs. If you have pets and they're itching it could be fleas, if you have been in a hotel room recently it could be bedbugs.
For fleas, you mostly have to vacuum and wash your sheets and put flea powder on your pets. Also close your bedroom door to your pets until their fleas go away.
If it's bedbugs, which cause problems like you're saying, I'd say call a specialist. The reason being that they'll be sort of in your mattress. They would've arrived in your luggage probably. I put a link for it below if you think this might be the case. It says how to identify them and treat them.
Oh and lastly it could be mosquitoes, if you live somewhere where they're a problem get new window screens, or a bugnet for your bed.

Do you have a dog or a cat that could have fleas? One of my kids had this when they went to sleep a few times. He woke up with red bumps all over his face and you coud tell it wasn't mosquito bites.
If you have a cat or dog, get them a flea collar, and then go to a store and buy something to treat fleas. It's probably what it is.

It sounds like fleas to me too: Fleas can be a bit picky about who they bite. Wash everything that's washable in your bedroom, and sprinkle your matress and carpet with borax and let sit about 20 minutes before you vacuum. And keep vacuuming every day for at least 2 weeks in case the fleas have laid eggs.
Good luck!

Don't know much about bed bugs.
We had an issue with fleas last summer, they were very selective about who they bit. Only 2/5 people in the house were getting bit.

between the hardest activities is to enable your infant cry themselves to sleep. With my first daughter I waited until eventually she replaced into 6 months old and nevertheless no longer likely to sleep at a respectable hour. First make certain they are surely sleepy, then you definately make certain they're fed, in a warmth sleeper so as that in the journey that they kick off the blanket they wont get chilly, a clean diaper, and get comforting music for them. then you definately positioned them in the crib tell them you adore them and that's time to sleep. Wait 5 minutes and then bypass in and reassure them for about 30 seconds and then leave back. Then wait 10 minutes and then 15mins. in the journey that they are nevertheless conscious (maximum will be) you bypass in each quarter-hour after that to enable them know mommy isn't forsaking them yet you dont %. them up in this time you basically refer to them and pat or rub their back in spite of is maximum comforting to them. you should do it some nights in a row too and also you won't be able to cave when you start up if that's been an hour b/c then the subsequent evening it will be worse b/c they know that once they screamed lengthy adequate you got here and were given them. It sounds cruel yet when she's 7 months she ought to be able to study that that's bedtime.

Pest control may be the answer. Maybe mosquitoes or some other insects. Rub a mosquito repellant cream for one night and see.

Interesting. Have you tried changing your sheets and washing your mattress pad? Perhaps you should also vacuum your matress and box springs.
