Some Kind Of Bug That Bites At Night, Becomes Red, Swollen, Itchy Crust Formed. What Could It Be?
We have some kind of bug that bites at night only in my daughters room. Multiple bites that become red and swollen itchy and crust over after oozing. We have bombed the room multiple times and recently sprayed with Demon. They seem to be gone but I am still suffering from the "bites" after several days and there seem to be a few more.

Hi
Thank for choosing HCM, if ii is really insects bits (Bugs) then you better give a call to pest control department ( If you have such department in you country ) or try some potent pesticide, "Quinolphose " may be tried, with great precaution, and if it not a bed bug then, it could be some local allergic reaction, try applying some soothing agents. Have good day.

hello,
Thank you for consulting HCM.The most common cause of your bites may be the bed bugs which hide at day time and come out in the night.The are usually painless but its very itchy and inflammation and may develop red blotches on the skin as series.To eradicate you need both pesticide and nonpesticide approaches.You can use hycrocortisone ointment for the itching and marks developed by them.Wash the area with warm water and keep it dry.If stil the problem persists you need to consult a doctor.Thank you.
