What Causes Skin Irritation And Itching Sensation Inspite Of Using Benadryl?
My daughter has been waking up with some kind of bug bites for about two weeks now. We assumed it was spiders at first, so we did a very thorough cleaning of her bedroom, and we used a bug fogger and also some spider bug spray. A few days passed with no further bites, but now they are back again. At first they were not itchy at all, now there is some itch and irritation. I ve used Benadryl and Hydrocortisone on her and they both work temporarily. I would like to properly identify these bug bites, in case they are not spiders. No one else in the home has beem bitten.

Hello,
The fact that they have come back means two things. Probably there is an insect that continues to be at home or she is allergic and these are long sings of allergy. I recommend you to talk with her doctor to examine her closely just for safely.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
