Bedbug bites? Or something else?

Hello,

I woke up two days ago with a cluster of bites on my arms but didnt think much of it, assuming they were just mosquito bies. Howeveer, when another cluster appeared I was concerned that they weren’t mosquito bites. I considered the possibility of bedbugs and looked through my bedroom for any signs of them but nothing came up in the slightest indication that the culprit was indeed bedbugs. Today I woke up with no new bites but I can’t be too careful so I wanted to know if my bites were that of bedbugs. 

Any help? Or are they bites from something else?

Thanks!

    I can’t see the images so not really sure what your bites look like.

    Hi Ruby best way to check for bed bugs is not by looking in the bedroom it is by looking down the seams and you could even get celotape and go along them, bed bugs are tiny and during the war they were rife

    Hope you can find the source, if you think there mosquitos then they need getting rid of as well, netting up at the window and doors shut, UK you don't normally get that many mosquito bites in one go but it's possible
