(Synonym: Bed-bug.)
Describe the characters of a bed-bug bite.
An inflammatory papule or wheal-like lesion results, somewhat hemorrhagic; the purpuric or hemorrhagic point or spot remains after the swelling subsides, but finally, in the course of several days or a few weeks, disappears.
Treatment consists in the application of alkaline or acid lotions.
