What Does a Cockroach Bite Look Like?

A cockroach bite looks like a small red bump on the surface of the skin with a single puncture wound in the center, similar to a mosquito bite.

Many people do not realize that cockroaches can bite people, because it is rare. But if there is a large infestation and quite a bit of competition for food, a cockroach may bite a human.

Cockroach bites frequently occur on the hand or mouth area, because there is quite often food residue on these body locations that the cockroach is attempting to obtain.

In order to treat cockroach bite, you can apply hydrocortisone cream to help reduce the swelling. It should go away a matter of a few days just like a mosquito bite.

In order to avoid cockroach bites, keep your mouth and hands clean, especially when you go to sleep because this is one cockroaches tend to bite the most.
