Hello,

Since you are presently 26 weeks pregnant and are having discomfort due to bug bite, you should take care of your hygiene. Do not share your toiletries with anyone. Take showers and get your clothes washed in Savlon / Dettol or warm water. You should wear soft cotton clothes. You can apply calamine lotion in the area affected. Soframycin ointment also helps to ease discomfort.

If the itching is resistant then you can apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone ointment only in the area affected (legs, chest, back). Since you are very young and pregnant, take care of yourself. Do not take medicines without consultation. Stay well hydrated and take home made nutritious food.

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

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
