How do I know if I have bedbugs? I have two really itchy swollen bites on my right ankle and foot.?

Question:

I have had a couple of bites that have been the same in the last month or so, and we don't have pets and I live in the UK, so no poisonous spiders...The doctor said I was allergic to whatever has bitten me. I haven't seen anything that would suggest bedbugs (like bloodstains, or any bugs), but the itching is driving me crazy! Does anyone know how to get rid of them if they are there?

Answers:
If they are bed bugs most likely you would have been itching all over. But if there are bed bugs then you will have to wash all your linen in extra hot water separate from your other things. Then spray your mattress with a bug spray, either the regular kind you would find in a hardware store or maybe even better something from a pet store.
Wash the linen everyday after you have used and spray every day.

I think they can live in the mattress. I heard it's very difficult to get rid of. Sorry.
