Bed Bug Bite Treatment Cream

Bed bug bites are an irritating, itchy problem that affects millions of Americans each year. Treatment creams offer relief from the itching, burning and inflammation caused by these pests. OTC creams often contain active ingredients like hydrocortisone, benadryl or calamine lotion to reduce irritation. Doctors may prescribe a topical steroid cream or oral antihistamine for more severe reactions or infection resulting from the bite.

When using bed bug treatment creams read instructions carefully before applying them. Use no more than twice daily and not longer than one week unless recommended by a doctor. Some products may cause stinging or other irritation on sensitive areas - check labels before use or consult your doctor for advice about suitable treatments for you specifically.

In addition to specially designed creams there are several other ways to manage bed bugs. Preventative measures such as encasements on mattresses/pillows and regular vacuuming/cleaning can help minimize risk without resorting to chemical treatments which can be hazardous both environmentally and physically upon exposure thereto. If an infected mattress is suspected, replace it quickly - this will reduce risk and prevent future outbreaks from occurring in your home again!
