A few days ago, I looked at my left foot and saw that some my toes were a little swollen and kind of hurt to the touch around the top joint where the swelling was, mainly. I then saw that I had some on the right foot as well. I was going to go to the doctor because there was something going on with my body maybe. But that morning I found a new blemish, only on the top of my big toe. Looking closely at it, I saw dark spots, but there was five or so of them all bunched up, within the span of the width of the top of an eraser. They were bite marks. Two of my toes had their swelling go down a little bit, and tiny dark purple spots (the bite location, I assume) have appeared. I've been bitten by random little spiders dozens of times. Their bites are usually not severe, but leave two obvious holes from the fangs. The problem is, so far one lesion has many penetration marks, but a couple other lesions have only one, or perhaps they're so incredibly close they just look like one. Also, I tore apart (figuratively speaking) my bed and covers, looked under, around and around and found no web or spider. Then again, this could just be a tiny ass spider with a weak bite, so when it bites once, you can't identify the two holes with certainty... And maybe it happened all in one night and I would just find other unnoticed bites days later... But spiders don't usually bite me so many times in one sitting, seems so tiring for one spider. But they certainly could...

If it's not a spider, could be bed bugs. However, I've read all I could online, looked at some pictures, and so on, about bed bugs. I'm pretty sure it's not bed bugs. It's stressed that it's hard to confirm that a collection of bites are clearly from bed bugs. They warn doctors are often unable to identify them as well. Also, they're incredibly hard to find, if you have them. Two days of searching, but I've found nothing. I have a white sheet and comforter, and it says that bed bugs leave feces everywhere, and that they are distinctively black (the feces), and would show up easily if they had to crawl to get to my flesh. Also, my bed frame is white. However, there is no sign of anything. The mattress was clean, too. Also, the pictures of bed bug bites I saw looked really, bad bad. Obvious bite marks and severe redness, and a larger area of irritation. But the bites I have are puffy, and not that red. In fact, if you saw my feet two days ago, there's no way you'd know they were swollen toes if I didn't point it out to you first. Most of the bites are just under the nail, so that area would just puff up but you couldn't see the bite mark until the swelling went down a little. But the fact is that they're on my toes, and for me, any bug bite is far less severe when it's on my fingers or toes than if it were say between my fingers or on my back. The one picture I found of bed bug bites on feet looked nothing like mine; it was much worse. Of course the other problem is that some people may not have such a bad reaction to bed bug bites, so they wouldn't take pictures of their bites... Another problem is that I've read that they can itch like crazy, but mine haven't itched at all (which is how my some of my spider bites are), but they did hurt to the touch at first. It's also strange to me that only my toes have been bitten, and not any other part of my foot, or under them, or on any other part of my body exposed when I sleep. From the pictures I saw, they just bite everywhere they can. I think I've only got 8 bites total or so.

I tried to post some pics but they fucking sucked.

Thank you. The camera is shit, I know, and the pictures are few days late, but if you were a scrawny ass bastard and you woke up with a bunch of 250-lb man's chubby toes that hurt, you might say to yourself, "That ain't right."

I'd say you are host to some kind of insect eggs. The larvae will soon start eating you from the inside. Maybe they can still be stopped by foot amputation if you are quick. Better not wait for a doctor, do it with a kitchen knife right now.

Sounds like a blood sucker. This reminds me that I should change my mattress cover.

from the description my guess would be spiders. especially since spiders are known for their hit and run tactics.

although my experience with spider bites is that they tend to get real big. maybe because it was only on your feet they were small?

It's obvious the spiders bit you, then crawled into your mouth to avoid detection. You eat 5 spiders on the average night you know.

That sounds pretty crazy. Mountaindew did you try to check your socks or shoes? Perhaps you got something in your shoes and not your bed and the bite reactions are just delayed?

Also, could it be some kind of food allergy or plant based? Do anything funky barefoot? What makes you sure they're bite marks? Could they be puncture marks from thorns or something of that sort? Sorry, just throwing some ideas out there for you. Hard to say without pics. The blackness sounds odd and makes me think some kind of insect that left its stinger in you. Either that or they're beads of dried blood that are just under the skin. Could be a variety of things :-\

could be more serious than some insect bites, you might have gangrene , ebola, or some other crazy foot fungus. I'd go doctor asap before you lose some toes or even a foot.

My grandpa (RIP) got gangrene on his big toe, they chopped it, it spread, they chopped the rest of his toes and half his foot, still spread, they chopped up to his knee. do not fuck around.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

When I read the title I thought you had a flesh eating disease.
Maybe the best course of action is to be thankful you don't have a flesh eating disease.
