If it's true, then maybe it can treat you to lunch, as well? ;)
Seriously, though, check out the links, below, which I have no personal experience with, and I wouldn't use it, but, hey, who knows?

I've never heard of it being used on bug bites, but I've heard both answers on the acne bit. Some people swears it helps dry them up faster, some dermatologists though say that it doesn't do a darn thing.
If you try it, just dab a small amount directly onto the spot. Also, avoid the gel toothpaste.

I haven't heard of toothpaste being used to treat pimples but the bug bite part is true, it is very good for a bee sting. Toothpaste is also very good for cleaning silver, or jewelry. You can also use toothpaste for a burn (such as touching a hot pan, or hot liquid)

sort of.
with pimples, it basically just dries out the skin, which, in turn, dries up the zit. if you have oily skin, it may work, somewhat. if you have dry skin, it could make it worse by drying it too much and causing it to peel or flake.
with bug bites, I'm not sure, but its probably effective in smothering a bug inside of you or making a tick fall off, but probably not effective against the bite itself.

Yes, works great on pimples, dries them out, probably draws out bug bites too. Dab it on before you go to sleep, wash it off in the morning.
