Jen,

Fleas do bite in clusters of 2 or 3, as do bed bugs.

However, what you describe doesn’t sound related to fleas. Flea bites are very itchy. And the bites aren’t small lesions. They are similar to mosquito bites.

Fleas don’t lay eggs in skin.

I would suggest not using flea shampoo on your body. Fleas don’t live on people. They bite and then leave. So shampooing wouldn’t do much. Using an insect repellent would be a better idea, but, again, these bites sound unrelated to fleas.

I hope this helps!

Adam
