Brief Answer:
Hello. None of these has the appearance of cancer
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
I looked carefully at all your photos.
The larger reddish patches look like eczema or an inflammatory dermatitis.
The mole-like spot is nicely rounded with smooth edges and only one color, so it has no indications of a melanoma.
All that said, you should have a doctor look at all of these XXXXXXX
Please let me know if you need any more information

Does this look like bug bites or fllitious ?? Like in your medical opinion does this look like bed bugs or Lyme disease?
Brief Answer:
Certainly not Lyme
Detailed Answer:
None of the photos are consistent with Lyme disease.
If that one area of tiny marks is the only one on your body, then I'd go with folliculitis
