What are they likely to be from? I live in Liverpool, England and havn't been abroad. I'm scared there's something lurking in my bed haha!
And any good treatments to stop the itch.

If the bites are itchy bumps here and there it's most likely to be from a mosquito. If they're itchy bumps in a row - most likely they are flea bites. Either way, try to resist scratching them, just dab a bit of TCP on them and they'll be gone in a few days.

Fleas, bed bugs,mossies, do you sleep with the window open, do you have cats or dogs, have you been on abroad in the last few weeks?

To stop it happening again, wash all the sheets on as hot a wash as you can, including any underblankets. If you have an electric blanket, wash it too, and vacuum your mattress throroughly and flip it as well and vacuum that side.

Try Antisan on the bites to kill the itch

Sounds most likely to be mosquitos.

Re bedbugs, during the day leave your bedclothes folded down to the foot of the bed, exposing the base-sheet, this should help prevent bed bug infestation.

I was going to ask the same as Ratter, do you have any pets or have you had any animals in the house recently?

I woke up with a mozzie bite on my - er - abdomen yesterday morning. Little beggars get everywhere. A dab of Afterbite does the trick, repeated if necessary.
