Me too- and bed bugs can bite under clothing as well. Is the bite swollen hard

They don't get hard, just swollen and itchy.

Baraeus

Could be urticaria; welts can be allergic reaction to something or even stress

7:07am

Yes but they usually don’t have a “bite” mark and are short lasting. I asked
