I have some personal experience with this topic, I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or a bad thing. So I’ll start by explaining in details what I went through and what I feel should be shared. When I was younger and first started working outside the house. I noticed every now and then when someone new would make notes on me as to something that looked like bed bug bites on arm. But they seemed to go away after 3 days or so. Itchy bed bug bites are the most common sign of someone who has had contact with bed bugs. The itchy welts on your arm look like a number of other things so you aren’t sure what is causing them. Using this guide, bed bug bites marks can be identified to determine if you have an infestation. By knowing what they look like, you will be able to prevent further spread of these pests. Bed bug bites look similar to mosquito bites and allergic reactions. But they’re really different. Bed bug bites occur when the tiny insects bite you in your sleep. This often starts with minor irritation that can develop into a more serious rash. The affected individual may have no knowledge of bed bugs on their premises. Bed bugs are often found in public venues like movie theaters, bus terminals, and hotels. Check out the picture below of bed bug bites on my arm.
Bed Bug Bites On Arm

Bed bug bites do not usually require treatment. Wash the bite area with soap and water, and apply an antiseptic to prevent infection. Don’t scratch the bites, as this can lead to an infection. Do not apply ice or other topical treatments to the bites, as these may cause pain or skin damage. Do not use bleach on bedbug bites, as it could irritate them further.
Home remedies for bed bug bites include measures to control itching, such as oatmeal baths or cool compresses.
You can take steps to control your symptoms until you can see a healthcare provider:
- Use a cold compress. Apply it for 10 minutes at a time, and then reapply after each time you wash the area with soap and water. This may help reduce swelling, redness and itching. Try to keep the compress cold by filling it with ice cubes before putting it on your skin. If you don’t have an ice pack handy, use a bag of frozen vegetables instead – just make sure that whatever you’re using is wrapped in something soft so it doesn’t irritate your skin further!
- Apply an antihistamine cream or lotion (such as diphenhydramine) to relieve itching sensations within one to two hours of being bitten by bed bugs – but be careful not overuse any medications because they could cause side effects such as drowsiness or dry mouth if taken too often over long periods of time!
Over-the-counter medications may help relieve itchiness in some cases. Those who experience severe allergies may need prescription medication.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), bed bugs can live for several months without a meal.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), bed bugs can live for several months without a meal. If you’ve spotted them in your home, it’s important that you take steps to get rid of them immediately. Bed bugs can survive for about a year without food, so even if they’re not currently feeding on you or your family members, they’ll still be around until they find another source of blood. Even after that year has passed, though, bed bugs may continue living in your home and coming back out at night to feed again—so even after all these years when we hadn’t seen any signs of bedbugs, we were still dealing with them!
Bedbugs have been known to live up to 18 months without feeding! So while it may seem like there’s no hope left once one infestation has passed and been dealt with (they certainly had us fooled), keep in mind that these creatures are highly resilient; there is always the possibility of another resurgence down the road if conditions remain favorable for their survival…
Most people do not need medical attention for a bed bug bite.
Most bed bug bites do not require medical attention. Bed bugs don’t spread disease, but they can cause skin irritation and their bite can be itchy.
In the case of severe allergic reactions to a bed bug bite, people should seek medical attention immediately. In most cases of bed bug bites, however, no treatment is required at all.
To treat any itching or burning that may occur after being bitten by a bed bug:
- Wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water as soon as possible. This will help prevent an infection from developing into something worse like cellulitis (inflammation of connective tissue beneath the skin). It’s important to wash your hands thoroughly before touching any part of your body after coming into contact with a blood-sucking insect such as a mosquito or tick—or even someone else’s blood if you happen to see them get bitten by one! You can also apply an antiseptic ointment or cream to help prevent infection if you have open wounds in addition to bites; some brands include Triple Antibiotic Ointment (Neosporin), Bacitracin Zinc (Polysporin), Polysporin Plus Silicone Lubricant Cream, Neosporin Plus Pain Relief Medicated First Aid Antibiotic Ointment.[^6]
