Why am I soooooooo itchy

[Equonic]

here is the down low. I moved into my new apartment with my buddy. after about 3 weeks i noticed i was uncontrollably itchy after sleeping in my bed and throughout the day. ive been living with this for 3 weeks now and enough is enough. He failed to tell me that before he moved in with me his girlfriends cat had fleas and he had went through itchiness and rashes and thew whole nine yards. I just don't know if its fleas that's making me itch because i have stripped my bed down and thoroughly examined all my clothing and have not found one flea. the itching is so bad i scratch so hard i break blood vessels the only thing that stops the itching is cold showers. I noticed that some of the itchy spots which are located allllllll over my body mostly on my stomach and inner thighs have little bumps ( they are more visible under hot water, as i can see the red patches on my skin) but other itchy areas have no little bump, maybe because the bite is just to small? my buddy and i have rooms no more then 5 feet apart and he is itch free how can this happen? is it fleas that are causing these itches? Also i had a femal friend of mine stay over and she slept in my bed. she woke up the next morning itchy all over and scratching uncontrollably as well. someone please help im dying here the itching is soo bad

sounds like bedbugs to me,the mattress needs throwing out all the bedding needs to go to,and a visit to the doctors.

Sounds like scabies to me too. I had them once... get a new mattress and go see a doctor. It's easily treated. Or maybe bedbugs??? Either way, I'd get rid of the mattress.

get checked for scabies and get many opinons b/c dr's are very hesitant to diagnose scabies
