Suggest Remedy For Itchiness Caused Due To Bed Bugs.

Hi,

I have recently found bed bugs in my bedroom. I have stopped stepping into that room and will be shifting soon, but I can still feel itchiness all over my body daily. Could you please advise what should I do to get rid of the itchiness?

Also, is there any way that this could cause infection to my clothes or any other personal items?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, the itching of the bed bugs, wont be carried for few days, the itching may be there for 2 days maximum, then if they don't bite you you may not have the itching.
If the itching is there it may be due to some other cause as allergy to some other thing like food, clothes, cosmetics, etc.
I advise you to consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
