Can Sand Fleas Cause Small Red Itchy Marks On Legs ?

I received multiple red marks which appear to be a bit of some sort. I just returned from the Mexico beaches of Riveria Mayia. I spent time on the beach and was wondering if the bites could be sand fleas?
The bites are small, red, and itchy. The bites are located on my inner legs near my crotch

Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to bites.

I suggest using Hydrocortisone cream for local application.

I also recommend Loratadine to relieve the itching.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
