It seems that you have to wait for them to heal. In the meantime, you can call in exterminators. About.com recommends the following methods of getting rid of the bedbugs which can live for a year without a meal.\n\n"* Thoroughly wash, vacuum or clean all surfaces and bedding. \n*Wash or dry-clean bedding and affected clothing. Use hot water and a dryer on the hottest setting whenever possible. \n*Vacuum mattresses, seal them in plastic and leave them outside in the hot sun for as long as possible. \n*Steam clean carpets. \n*Spray cracks and crevices with an insecticide designed to control bedbugs. Follow the label directions carefully. Do not treat bedding with insecticide

it is my understanding that there is no way to get rid of them. they are genetic.  creams and sleep will do nothing really. they say however using moisturizer  to keep your skin hydrated on a regular basis can slightly lessen the apperance.but they will still be present. the only thing i can tell you is makeup, weather you are male or female a little concealer or base will help. its funny i just read an article about that yesterday.

Since you asked, I'm going to tell you (and please confirm this with a second or third source if you think I'm just trying to disgust you!);  Most of that dust in your house is little tiny bits of skin that have dried and flaked off of you and your fellow dwellers, plust the carcasses of dust mites!\n\nYou asked!\n\n(There is actually a whole book written about dust, and called, imaginitively enough, "The Secret Life of Dust" by Hannah Holmes.  Enjoy!)

Being in the med field this sounds strange for to me to tell someone else, but try not bathing in soap or any other substances. Just H20 and avoid being too clean, my niece has the same issues, and avoid clothing that rubs? as far as topical treatments i have a natural remidies book that ~I can't locate~ try health food stores, maybe something as simple as garlic? there are many foods that aide the body in homeostasis!

Ask your doctor to give you hydroxazine.  It helps allieviate the itch and will help you with sleep.  Also, I'm sure you've tried caladryl (the clear works great) and try to keep yourself cool.  Any type of heat or over excertion will make it itch more.  The oatmeal bath can help, but for some, the water alone will make you feel itchy and drying off can be rough.  See if your doctor will perscribe the hydroxazine, take some benadryl in the mean time and see if some hydrocortisone on some of the areas will help with any inflammed spots... Sooo sorry your suffering... I hope this helps.

You would be amazed at the amount of nasty stuff in your pillow.  Fungal spores, dead mite bodies, and their excrement make up a substantial amount of the weight of most pillows.  get a new pillow see if that helps.  supposedly natural materials make the best pillows but to avoid infestation by nasty substances get a plastic cover for your new pillow and put your pillow cover on over it and wash you bed linens often with a hypo allergenic detergent

As for the dust allergy, try getting some sort of hay feaver meds because they help with that. Also try washing all your sheets and blankets really hot. if you're allergic to dust getting rid of things such as carpets and curtains really helps. just keep everything clean and wash everything lots.

OK. these things are insects- so they can be killed.\n\nFirst of all, face the problem. If you have head lice, they are also probably in all your apartment, also clothes, hats, etc. Also anyone you are in close contact with.\n\nFor the hair- it is easy. Simplest solution is to shave all hair. I do mean ALL hair, because lice lay eggs on any hair (including eyelashes, armpit hair, pubic hair) they get across (they look like silvery streaks and are almost impossible to get rid off by conventional means)\n\nIt also means you have to boil all your bedclothes, clothes, caps, etc. and spray all over the flat (including the walls and behind/above/under the bed) with some good bug killer- preferably the kind for crawling insects (longer lasting). I hope you're not allergic.\n\nIf you don't want to shave all hair, cut it as short as possible then soak in vinegar for a couple of hours at least (covered in a towel) then comb out with a special comb- very close set teeth (some pharmacies may have them). You have to repeat it at least once a week for 3-4 weeks. This is because new lice hatch from eggs every 2 weeks or so, so you have to kill them before they have a chance to lay new eggs.\n\nFor mature insects it is easy enough- rub oil or butter on your hair, leave it on for 3-4 hours. Blocks the bugs breathing holes and they die. Not quickly, but they die eventually.\n\nHot iron treatment may suffice- both for clothing and for hair. Not as effective as shaving, but worth a try.\n\nRemember you got the bugs from somewhere- so you're likelly to get them again from the same source\n\nIn any case, they are alive and therefore they can be killed- just "stay the course". A bit like fighting the Taliban- some say hopeless- but if you persevere long enough they quit living

Having had scabies myself not long ago I can confidently say that I never felt the mites at all. As you say, its probably your imagination - especially as the medication wears off.\nI found that if I kept my skin as cool as possible, especially in bed, the itching was not too severe. This strategy worked well and included having warm showers rather than hot and sleeping with the lightest possible bedding to remain as cool as possible.\nFor reliable medical information look here:

Try rubbing the areas with lemon juice every day, it helps fade the marks quite well...;

If you sleep alone and have no pets nor do you have an insect infestation, you are scratching yourself in your sleep.  It's not really to uncommon, especially if you have dry skin.  Try putting a heavy cream (not lotion) on your arms before going to bed at night to hydrate your skin.  It might itch enough that you scratch yourself without waking up.\n\nI doubt that it's demons as some people say.  Those who think that tend to be a bit, ahem, worrisome.

Might be from the years from crawling around.The best way you could get rid of them is get Coco butter and use it twice a day and they might not go away but it will lighten them.Good Luck!

Don't let bad opinions get you down.  :)  Every parent has a time, ok, MANY times when they are unsure of what to do.  Please don't think you are a bad parent as some have suggested.  If there is puss coming out of it, you should clean it with soap and water, try to gently rub away as much puss as you can, and then put an antibacterial cream on it.  Tomorrow call your doctor and see if you can get it looked at.  Some bugs, tics, crawl into the skin, and other bugs can leave quite a nasty little poison behind, not usually dangerous to the whole body, but can cause infection at the site of the bite.  Don't use peroxide on it.  Doctors have recently been saying that peroxide will help kill the poison/infection, but it will also kill all the helpful cells at the sight, and can help ruin the skin, and rarely can aid in scaring.  It's much better to clean the cut, bite out with warm soap and water.  But please do call your family doctor tomorrow just to make sure he doesn't want to check her out.  He will have heard of any dangerous insects around lately, and can tell you if she should be looked at.  Good luck, and thank you for asking, that is what shows you are a caring parent.

well, i don't know about ur body but if u put a little bit of honey and cover it up with a band-aid, it will eventually clear up. i know it works for ur face but i don't know about ur body. u might also want to ask a dermotalogist. \ndon't be afraid to ask because i have tons of acne on my face and i hate it...it stinks! i asked my doctor and he sent me three different things and it's starting to work!
