Bedbug bites can occur anywhere on your body, but they typically show up on uncovered areas, such as your neck, face, arms, and hands.
You probably won’t feel pain when a bedbug bites, but you may see three or more clustered red marks, often forming a zigzag. These marks might show up as many as 14 days after a bite occurs, since bed bugs inject a substance in their saliva that makes bites harder to spot.
Although they’re common and irritating, bedbugs do not carry disease. But some people develop a mild or severe allergic reaction. This can result in a raised, red skin bump, blister, or a welt known as hives.
If you have hives, a lot of bites, or notice a bite that looks infected, talk with your doctor.
