It can take anywhere from one to three weeks for chigger bites to heal. In the meantime, try to avoid scratching, as this can cause infection. You may use over-the-counter anti-itch medications like hydrocortisone or calamine lotion. You can also apply ice to the bites to relieve itch.

Chigger bites aren't contagious, so you can't catch them from someone or give them to somebody else. You can still play sports and do all your normal activities unless the itching makes you too uncomfortable.
