Itchy welts on feet? They look and feel like mosquito bites but I haven't been outside and it's too cold for that. Any idea what this could be? 35 weeks.

It does look like bedbugs. Just because you don't see them doesn't mean their not there. Get some diatomaceous earth (FOOD GRADE) and bed bags. Use the DE, leave it for a day or two, vacuum it up, repeat. This is just to contain them until you can get someone in to look. Trust me, you want a professional.

Might be hives. The skin is really thin there so you may just be experiencing some irritation that's causing them. I'd try taking Benadryl and seeing if they go away, if they do its a skin irritation/hives and if it doesn't it's likely a bug bite.It is worth mentioning to your OB anytime your hands or feet start developing an itch though because it can be linked to liver problems during pregnancy.

I posted the same 2 days ago, people told me it was probably bedbugs but I don't see anything at all in my apartment I even checked with the super, and it's not enough hot to have mosquitos. My friend works with doctors and she asked them about my bites and they all said it can be mosquitos already... I'm in NYC. On the picture it was 2 days ago, today it looks like yours, more large.

It could be ICF. It when your liver has a problem with bile. DEFINITELY mention it to your doctor.

I was told by the midwife that if I get itchy feet to go to the doctors it could be something to do with your liver, I can't remember what she said exactly now but defo go the doctor.

Its hard to see how many you have, but around ankles can be fleas or if its just one ankle and not too many spots could be spider bites. I had two bites on my wrist from a spider and it was horribly itchy. GL!
