Shocked

Are these bites on your chest? If so, they may be Shingles.

Shingles looks like spider bites in the beginning.

Please seek medical attention ASAP and get a blood test for Zoster titres. Starting Antiviral therapy ASAP will prevent lingering neuropathic pain.

I had "bites" on my arm when I was in my forties...that turned out to be shingles. It was an odd presentation, but the blood work confirmed it.

So please see your doctor.
