How long does it take scratched chigger bites to heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Without development : Of infection, they usually heal on their own within one to two weeks. In the meantime, control itching with an over-the-counter anti-itch cream, such as Hydrocortisone cream. Consult your doctor if your skin appears infected or if the bites seem to be spreading to other parts of your body.
