I may be wrong but I don’t think that’s true.
According to the interwebs the lesion only forms after the chigger larva has had its meal and dropped off. Larva hatch from eggs in the grass and then latch on to idiots like me

I just got back from hiking in Hot Springs, and they got me good as well! Wife didn't have a single bite.

Pinesol in bath water or rub on directly to bites with cotton balls.

Glad it worked! I am curious how long it lasts on a chigger bite, you know, for science. I know it works great on other bites/lesions.

Feel for you. I my wife and I were at Bug Cedar Lodge and sitting at a bench for a little bit. I ended up with about 10 or 12. I hate those bugs.
The name should have clued you in.

I got chiggers bad after blackberry picking in Arkansas this spring. What saved me was drinking liquid Benadryl.
