How To Stop Itchy Bug Bites?

I ve been getting a lot of what looks like bug bites only I can t find anykind of bugs around so I don t know what s really causing it. It also looks like most of them are in sets of 2s and bruising. The itching is consistent and relentless. I ve been using hot water with Aveeno for itching, benedryl topical and oral. Any idea what I could do to stop the itching beyond these products, because they re not working for me.

Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!


Thanks for consulting the Physicians at HealthCare Magic. I have worked through your case thoroughly, and I can easily realize your health worries. Being your physician, I reassure you not to worry as things will settle down very soon.

Apply Dermarest cream and Equate No-Rub Calamine Plus spray 3 times a day. Take Claritin twice daily by mouth. Plus, Ibuprofen 800 mg twice daily.


Its all due to bedbugs, because it has a typical distribution and pattern is similar to that. Take shower with Oatmeal milk and honey body wash. It all will soothe you a lot and will keep you relax and itch free.'

May you get very well soon and have a wonderful time ahead. Please don't forget to give your valuable feedback to help us assist you in a better way.
