This is a difficult question to answer because each individual is different and so is the way they react to a BedBug bite. When a BedBug begins to feed on you it's saliva contains a couple of chemicals. One is an antistetic that masks your pain so you don't wake up when it inserts it's feeding tube. The other is an anticoagulant which makes your blood flow more freely. How you individually react to those two chemicals is what makes the difference.

Some people are not allergic to those chemicals while for others the reaction can be severe. Generally for everyone in between you will see small red bumps, sometimes two or three all in a row. They will itch but please do not scratch them. For others there may be a combination of blotches and bumps. As I said it is different for each individual.

To be sure if it is a Bedbug bite or something else you need to look for the other signs of BedBugs: small blood spots on your bedding; dark spots that are BedBug fecal material; BedBugs or their eggs in the seams of your mattress and box springs. If you don't find those signs in your bedding then look in the area surrounding your bed. BedBugs may hide in cracks and crevices almost anywhere. As a generalization BedBugs can hide up to about twenty feet away from their prey which is you while you sleep.
