You : You should see your doctor to confirm the reason you are itching is in fact bed bugs. Also there is a presription medication you can be given called atarax, which works really well for intense itching. As far as creams go, over the counter Benadryl (diphenhydramine) cream may help with the itching. Old bed bug bites can flare up, but the timing is a little long for that. Lastly, if it is bed bugs, then you need to consider the source and if they were completely erradicated. Call the exterminators and find out if they will come back under some type of guarantee. Best of luck.

Not sure what your: Question is. Have the bedbugs returned? Declutter entire bedroom ; other effected rooms. See site for info: http://treatmentforbedbugs.Com/ put all junk in tightly sealed plastic ; dispose of it. Wash clothing, linens, towels in hot water. Dry on highest heat - then repeat. Place clean items in a sealed bag to prevent re-infestation. Steam clean what can't go in drier. Vacuum everything using.
