Suggest Remedy For Itchy Patches On Penis Due To Bed Bug Bite

I was sleeping and woke up with a bed bug in my boxer breeth. I noticed it and shook it out of my breeth and killed it. I then noticed some bites on the side of my penis, which continues to itch. I tried using Cortisone 10 ointment, but still have 1 big and little patches from bites. What can I do to get rid of bite marks and return skin back to normal.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to a bug bite. I suggest using an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 1p mg daily. I also suggest using a steroid cream for local application such as Hydrocortisone cream. I recommend to maintain a good hygiene.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
