How long does it take a bug bite to go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If it is uncomplicated and there is no infection then perhaps a few days. If you are having a more brisk reaction or there is a secondary bacterial infection then it can take longer and may require some other treatment than time.
