How long does it take for bed bug bite symptoms to resolve?

Symptoms of bedbug bites usually improve within 2 to 3 days after initiating active treatment. Under a doctor's guidance, patients can apply anti-inflammatory and anti-itch creams, such as bufexamac cream. Oral antihistamines, including cetirizine and loratadine, are commonly used as well. During treatment, patients should avoid getting the affected skin wet to prevent infection.
