If you have bed bugs bites and they swell up real big and get a blister on top what does that mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bed Bugs: Bullous reactions to bedbugs are not rare. Of 357 photographs of bedbug bites posted on the internet, 6% were bullous. In an individual with previous bullous reactions, experimental bedbug bites were associated with a progression of cutaneous responses at bite sites from immediate, pruritic, edematous lesions to a late-in-time macule, which evolved into bullous reactions by 24 hours.
