please help me i'm I have not slept in 2 nights over this rashs itching, & anxiety from fear of bed bugs! I thought it was ivy, or sumac, but i'm terriffied that it might be bed bugs, The rashes look the same to me online.

I work in lanscaping and was exposed to poison ivy & sumac & probably chiggers @ 9 days ago, maybe again 2 days ago.Two other men that work with me have had similar, reactions, but not quite the same, At first I noticed on the inside of my bicep were three round small welps, I thought they were mosquito bites and scratched them, one ended up running a line of small continual bumps, then i continued to get small patches of bumps that formed patterns sometimes, & also individual bumps. Then on my legs, I had 2 red bumps that looked like mosquito bites or chiggers, I itched them and saw a a tiny black spot in the middle of them, I tried to dig it out useing alchohol and tweezers, one spot was very deep and I had to continue to dig about 1/2 a centimeter before getting it out. The Lines and spots started showing up on both of my lower front legs, One patch is a perfect circle of individual red bumps that don't connect and the center of them is normal. Alot of these look like bed bug bites. I have itched with all creams & medications being used. It has unnerved me, My skin is itching & buring so bad all over even where I can't see a sign of any irritation. In the pics u can see most of what I'm dealing with, Today was the first of 9 days with this that I haven't noticed new spots, but still itching like crazy. During the day & night I get a stinging burning sinsation, the I can't stop itching. At night in bed it's really bad.  I have 5 kids & I'm scared to even get in our beds . Please help me. I can't afford a doctor Thanks so much
