Bed bug bites

Me and my roommate just moved to a new unit in July and in a couple of days we noticed itching and bites on our bodies. Then one afternoon we actually saw a bed bug on the sofa we got from marketplace. My first purchase from marketplace and a Big mistake.

Called an exterminator, got it confirmed that we had bed bugs, and by that time they were almost everywhere in the unit. I was waking up everyday with new bites.

We are in the process of fumigating, just did the first round yesterday, HOWEVER, my problem is the scars that the bites are leaving.

Yes I made the mistake of itching a lot in the beginning because I didn’t know what it was, now my body is full of bed bug scars, everywhere, especially my arms and legs.

I am getting married in December and I really wanna get rid of these marks asap! Whats the best thing that I can find either over the counter or anywhere accessible easily in toronto!

Currently only using calamine lotion before I sleep!
