Itchy Skin Bumps

**xoxobaby** · 08-02-2009 03:07 PM

I can relate, last week, i suddenly got these bumps all over my leg. It spread to my other leg throughout the week. Yeah the look like bug bites, then pimples.. I have no idea what the heck the are. My mom says it could be from shaving.. i dunno..

If you move, they'll go with you. They aren't that easy to get rid of. Stay or leave you will have to go through all the treatment process. Your local board of health my be a help, by all means contact a professional exterminator.

Good! the sooner you get on it, the less of an infestation there is to deal with.

Thanks. We found 2. I had a sleepless night, around 2 am i found one on the bed.. lil bugger! Im not finding the lil dark spots on the mattress which i guess means we dont have it that bad. Im hoping the exterminator comes in and get this taken care of asap before it gets out of control. We have had alot of guests lately so maybe thats where it came from...

Just curious, how has this gone? I was notified today one of my tenants has them. Has had for a couple months, she just figured out that she's being bitten while sleeping. This is really not fun to deal with. Blah. They say it's going to get worse but I'm not going to put that into my expectations for the future.

The exterminator did the last treatment of spraying yesterday. I didnt notice any bites this past week but we have been getting a few the weeks before. Hopefully its gone. Time will tell.

Did they treat inside the walls? Those little nasties can hibernate for a year although they say if you go 120 days w/o any signs of them you are good. A tenant who dealt with this earlier in the year seems to be free of them.

Try honey based products as long as you are not allergic to honey. They calm the skin and reduce inflammation. Raw honey is best. Have you heard of Bee yummy skin food? It works for me.
