Bed Bug Bites: One common treatment known as calamine lotion is used in the treatment of bedbug bites. It is a pink lotion that comes in a pink bottle. This lotion is like a dry liquid that you would apply onto the affected area on a regular basis and it dries the bumps out and stops the itching. A second over the counter medicine that you can use for bedbug bites, is a corticosteroid like hydrocortisone.

Bed bugs: You can take antihistamines if you feel itchy. Topical steroid creams can be used on lesions. For a severe allergic reaction to bites – please seek medical evaluation and treatment. If you do not eradicate the bed bugs they will continue to bite you. Declutter entire bedroom & any other effected rooms.
