Bites from bed, unknown source

Bites from bed, unknown source

Our patient came with thise bites, claiming he gets them every night, despite washing his bedding. Mostly they are on his legs, they are like small, pale red bumps, they itch horribly. I haven't seen such a thing before. Any guesses ?

Bed Bugs can survive the wash if the dryer doesn’t get over 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Treat with hydroxyzine and tell the patient to wash the sheets with hot water and dry them with a hotter setting.

Hi Sanjay,sorry but little bites have alrady been cured , and are now seen only as little red spots, patient now sleeps in different bed, his bedding was washed with hot water, and placed in refrigerator, and after that in oven, his room has been completely hoovered and for a week he will not sleep in there. You can try something like that in your case. In many cases bed bugs have sort of nests so try to find it. I have been looking on my own for similar pictures and some you can find on the internet if you write : bed bugs bites, please contact me if you need anything else.
