Eradicate the source: Although hydrocortisone cream may be helpful, the most important step is to find out where the bugs come from and what kind of bugs they were. Sometimes you will need a more potent hydrocortisone cream to treat them. On the other hand, shingles often mimic bug bites, if they occur only on one side of the body, see your doctor immediately to get an antiviral drug which may hasten your recovery.
