I've developed allergies due to bedbug bites. What is the correct way of handling the itching and swelling? Please help since I'm not feeling very comfortable in this condition! Thanks in advance for your prompt response!

A hydrocortisone over-the-counter preparation (lotion or cream) could be of some benefit. Also calamine lotion may help. If the itching and swelling is severe, you will need to check with a physician. You also need to get rid of the cause. Check on the internet and see how to get rid of bedbugs. This usually requires the assistance of a professional pest control agent. They have the equipment.

My friend I am very sorry about your condition there,but I will tell you a generic name of an anti itching lotion available here.You can ask your pharmacy there if you have such a product under a generic name of Calamine Diphenhydramine.This lotion helps eliminate the itch produced by these bite like mosquitoes,and ants and bed bugs.If you are already allergic with some foods like eggs or chicken and you could still experienced the itchiness,then a doctor should be consulted because allergies could be dangerous to our life.

Well i can understand that u might be undergoing pain due to swelling and itching. First of all i would to recommend u to keep your rooms and your surrounding areas clean and hygienic. It is then u will feel less interference of bugs and insects from outside. Besides, whenever u feel itching then do not rub against the sensitive areas rather use a talc powder on it and let it stay on u for some days and u will feel relieved for some time. if excessive itching or swelling happens then u should always consult a doctor who can give u good suggestions regarding it. What say?
