Bedbug Rash
While some bedbug bites do not leave marks, others may produce red bumps known as papules or wheals. These red marks commonly do not appear until a day or two after the bite. Bedbug bites can be distinguished from other insects by their orderly rows, likely caused by a single bug.
Although bedbugs do not transmit disease and bites tend to disappear within a few days, some individuals may experience extreme irritation and rashes. If you develop a rash after being bitten by a bedbug, avoid scratching the affected area. Antibiotic creams may help to alleviate itching and decrease the odds of infection. If the rash persists or becomes infected, contact a medical professional immediately.
