When it comes to bedbug bites, everyone reacts differently. Some people just have small red marks, while others have a more severe allergic reaction to the bedbug bites. The best treatment options for bedbug bites include anti-itch cream, topical antiseptics (to ward off infection), and oral antihistamines. These treatments for bedbug bites are over-the-counter. If you have a severe reaction to bedbug bites, see a doctor; you may need a corticosteroid. See Also: Is This a Bed Bite?; Are Bedbug Bites Dangerous?; and Pictures of BedBug Bites
