Oh no, poor thing! Bites at straps or clothing edges are the worst...

I like it when you get so many bites in one place that it stops looking like bites and starts kinda looking like you got the plague. Sarcasm.
But seriously. It's real intense. I need like a flock of bats in my back yard. To save me and to be adorable.
Another good place? Like right where your panties line up on your butt. No idea HOW they managed to bite there, but they did.
I have some bug spray somewhere. I need to use it.

The usual place I get them is actually the back of my knee, always the right one c':
Now I'm guessing they couldn't reach that part of me with my cosplay on cause I had sturdy leather around my knees to protect them. But my outfit left my neck and part of my arms/shoulders exposed and they took their affront out on those haha
They're starting to lessen though, the one on my cheek is already close to gone which I'm very grateful for cause it reallllly sucked working in a store greeting and serving people with a big red mosquito bite right on my face!! X.x

I have horrible skin. It's all covered in bumps and scabs. People can't tell if there's a new bump or not. I have had times where an hour or so after eating I look at myself in the mirror and I've got like ketchup or something on my chin. No one the wiser. It can be a blessing. I suopose. Lol.

Oh man that sounds bad.
Can you do something against it, like using salves or cooling it?
Or is it because of stress or some other circumstances?

Well I have acne. But the main problem is my dermatilimania. I compulsively pick at my skin. It's an anxiety disorder. That is made worse because my Ehler's Danlos syndrome makes my wounds heal really slowly. So if I pick something it can take weeks or months to heal compared to a normal person who only takes a few days or a week to heal.
It's just all bad. lol.

Is there nothing you can do to aid your healing process? Creams or scrubs or such?
I have a mild form of dermatilimania myself, mine is luckily contained to the same few spots and I am in much more control over it now than I was before. With training and tricks you can hopefully overcome it or temper it a bit at least!
