I have itchy lines on my scalp. i also just got rid of a bedbug problem. could these itchy lines be a secondary infection from a bed bug bite?

Bed Bug: Bites are in areas exposed while sleeping-arms, shoulders, neck & legs. The hair is not one of the more common places. But - yes, a secondary infection could be possible.
