How Can Bed Bug Bites All Over The Body Be Treated?
Hi so I was at this hotel my and my girl were staying at on our trip and I woke up with bed bug bites all over my body the next day I woke up with my face swelled up and both my legs swelled up but they were super ichy and the skin around that area was really rough almost like sand paper. What should I do?
As per your case history of bed bug bites, my treatment advice is:
1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on affected region twice daily. 3. Take an antihistamine medication like Levocetirizine twice daily for 7 to 10 days. 4. Other treatment options are oral steroid, hydroxyzine taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Harshit Bhachech
