Could red, painful spots on back be bug bites?
I am a 26 year old female. I went on vacation to Rhode Island. On Thursday after arriving I went and sat in a porch swing outside. A couple minutes later I felt something bite me. First it looked like mosquitos. Now it does not. Now it burns/stings. It does not itch. They are red and kinda scabbed over like. I have about 9 spots in a cluster on my back right in the middle of my spine. They are really uncomfortable.

You may have been bitten by a spider or some other bug that causes irritation. Initially these bites may resemble mosquito bites but they change with time. A burning/stinging sensation is a frequent symptom. To ease the discomfort, you could try applying a cold compress to the area. If it does not improve or if you start to feel unwell, visit a dermatologist.
