Unknown bites

A few days ago I recently woke up with a lot of bites on my legs and arms and every day when I wake up there's more they pop up also throughout the day I have them all over my legs my arms one side of my back and down my face
I've been to a doctor and they ruled out mites or scabies I had an exterminator come out and ruled out bedbugs they couldn't find a thing what else could be causing me to break out in so many bites every day throughout the day
I am currently on an oral and topical steroid but nothing seems to be helping

The new ones are extremely itchy and the old ones the itching is starting to fade

What else could be causing this ?

Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

Are your doctors sure that these markings are bites?

A visit to a dermatologist can let you know more; you may be having an allergic reaction to something or have a yet to be determined skin condition. Schedule an appointment with a dermatologist.
Best,
Susan
