Unless you have an allergic reaction or infection, there is not much you can do to treat a cockroach bite.
You can, however, alleviate the itchy feeling and wait until its gone.
Here’s how
1. Wash affected area with soapy water:
Washing your bite will help remove the germs on your skin and prevent infection.
2. Apply Antiseptic
Aside from using soap to clean the bite, you can also use alcohol as an antiseptic.
Pour alcohol on a cotton ball and apply it to the bites.
Other antiseptic alternatives you can use are witch hazel and tea tree oil.
3. Apply Icepack
A cockroach bite, like most insect bites, can be itchy.
To alleviate the itchiness, place an icepack on the bite.
4. Get over the counter Medicines or Creams:
If you prefer not to use an icepack, over the counter antihistamines are great alternatives to soothe the itchiness.
5. Visit a doctor:
If your bites get worse over time, visit your doctor.
Your doctor will be able to address any excess inflammation or infections with proper treatments.
