Believe it or not you may need to change the detergent you use to wash your clothes. I had a similar problem about three years ago. Try the brand "all -free clear." you can buy it at any grocery store. Try this before you go to see a dermatologist. It could just be an allergic reaction.

Re: Bed Bugs
Thx andrewt
tes I will try that and clean and wash evrything w/all free clear detergent. But I also got an idea from a friend from work about putting bug killer on my mattress and close all the windows and stay out of my rom for 2 days. I'm going to do that too and change all my shets and make an apptr. W. My Dr. To.
Thx again for the reply

Hey listen I did the same thing a few years ago and it didn't help the problem. You might be wasting time and money. Start with changing your detergent and using a bath soap for sensitive skin. I had an exterminator come to my house and he said I didn't have a bed bug problem. (if they're in your bed you should be able to see them). I also went to my dermatologist and he thought I was crazy. You're probably just having an allergic reaction. I know what you're feeling though. It's a huge inconvenience. Try the detergent first without wasting your money.
