The worst or best part of this, depend on how you look at it, we actually do not feel any itchiness, no swelling, no crawling sensation, no marks, nothing. Just this needle like "bites", mostly on our feet and legs, but sometime feel the bites on our arms and upper body too. Sometime these bites can be very painful too. Of course my dermatologist don't believe me that it's any kind of insert/mite/parasites as she can't see anything on my skin. She thinks it's all in my head, but it's biting both me & my husband, not just me! I am going to try everything recommended on this site and hopefully one or more of these methods will help to stop all of this!
I just wanted to know does anyone else experience anything like this or have any clue of what bites but leave no itchiness or marks? I am starting to wonder if it could be a skin reaction to something, but there are so many things we come in contact everyday, how do you know which one it is? I don't think any doctor is going to spend time on us as we don't have any "severe" symptoms like others and evidence of mites or infestation. Anyone have any real info would greatly appreciated!

I do not get the itchiness either, and I also get the bites. I am soaking in the bathtub now with lavendar epsom salt that I bought at a rite-aid store. It says natural mineral bath soak with magnesium sulfate crystals with zinc and potassium. These things seemed to start in my leg area too. I like to use clove bud essential oil in my shampoo and as a body scrub with a back body brush. I use about 5 drops in my shamoo, it burns a little but I like it better than tea tree. It smells alot better too! Keep it away from your eyes though!Replied by Valentina (ON) on 04/08/2022
It sounds like scabies. I was getting sharp bites as well and then 8 weeks later the lesions appeared on my legs. If you never had scabbies, it takes almost 2 months before you actually see any lesions. Good luck. Scabies infestation is a nightmare especially if it is Crusted Scabies. I am still fighting the fight with them.
