A member asked:
I was curious it's bedbug bites could be turned into a scab?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If scratched -yes: Bed bug bites may cause no symptoms or signs in some people. When there is a reaction, it may not show until several days after the bed bug has bitten. It can cause pink, swollen, itchy lesions on the skin. What can be telltale is when there is a linear track of lesions from sequential feedings – but that does not always occur.
