I know it has been asked many times by many people but still...

Does this look like bb bite? I think so (especially the left three in a line...) but well, any yesor no from others would make me feel better. Thank you.
The crawling feeling when I sit on my newly bought all steel chair might probably not psychological. Even though I tried hard and found nothing when I felt the pricking, I found some new bites last night on my back. And the time frame is almost the same like the last time I felt itchy in my former infested apartment --- around one week. So again I went back to the bathtub, only this time with the blanket (which I am washing and drying now) for the third time this week at 6:00 AM this morning. If only I need not sleep!
And now I've got these bonus bites from out of no where. I know the bites could show up up to 9 days later but after I moved in I have a lot of small dots the size of a needle head all over me. I'm starting to speculate if these dots are failed penetrations because until yesterday I had moved a lot in this unit and I only spent like yesterday afternoon and night sitting in front of the laptop.
What's more troubling is the pricking feeling goes to my hands, and now I'm not even sure if I have to packtite it again...

Trauma, you can't tell by looking if they are bed bug bites. However, it sounds like you just moved from an infested apartment -- how long ago was that? It could be that your bites take time to materialize. It's also possible they're new bed bug bites.
Sorry I do not recall if you have shared this already, but what steps did you take to avoid moving bed bugs?

Traumab, are you talking about the small, distinctly-bordered, lightly-pigmented circles on your arm? Or the diffuse, pinkish, irritated area to the left of your armpit?
If you're talking about the small circles, I see five (maybe six) in the area close to your shoulder and two in the area next to your left hand.
If you were only counting three of them at the time you took this pic, is it possible that these circles have been there for longer, but you're just noticing them now because an itch has flared up? Just like maybe you didn't mention the full count of circles in your post (?). Those marks aren't on a part of your body that would be easily visible to you.
Has that irritation by your armpit gone away since you posted this? My skin can get irritated by prolonged pressure - elastic straps, bunched up T-shirt fabric pressed into my side while I'm sleeping, elbows pressed on thighs when playing video games, etc. My skin flares up in a way that looks similar to what's going there. Once I've relieved the pressure, the irritation goes away within hours.
p.s. my hands feel prickly when I feel suddenly hit by worry or anxiety. Might not be what's going on with you, but thought I'd share ....
