Awful insect bites

I have been traveling Australia for 2 months, and in the past week I have been getting tiny insect bites all over my body. At first I thought it was bed bugs, however I stay in the bed as my boyfriend every night and he doesn't get any. We have also read that you see signs of bed bugs, which we haven't. We have checked every inch of our luggage, clothes and bed/surrounding area. Also the bites are spread all over my body and bed bugs seem to bite in one small area. The bites are both a tiny pinprick size, or a large mosquito looking bite.

It's driving me mad and just wondered if anyone had experienced the same sort of thing.

    Are you using anything on your skin to create the rash?  Are you using anything to relieve the itch??

      Ice or cold compresses might give you some relief...
