Bug bites, Im Itchy like CRAZY!!?

Question

Ughh!

I have a ton of mosquito bites all over me and they are killer itchy! Some are all ready swollen.

what are some home remedies to reduce swelling and itch?

thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Rub a slice of fresh lemon or lime on your bites. Works every time.

Answer 2

there is a lotion called CALAMINA LOTION you should try that it worked for me

Answer 3

Baking soda.

But I'm going to tell you not to use dairy products for a while, maybe 2 or 3 days.

I had a bad reaction to milk, when I had 60 mosquito bites, and the lactose intolerance lasted almost a year.

Answer 4

Baking soda mixed with a tiny bit of water so its like a paste. Apply to the bites.

Or put some baking soda in the bathtub and soak in the warm water for a while.

Answer 5

Take a bath in warm water and oatmeal (uncooked, just dump some in) and a drop of mineral oil.

Or: rub on a mixture of baking soda and water.

Answer 6

I have ALWAYS put clear nail polish on them since i was a child. it takes the itch away. you will need to reapply as it wears off though because if the whole thing isn't covered then it will definetely start to itch again. it works trust me : )

Answer 7

Baking soda baths.

Also, as soon as possible after being bitten, rub some regular old underarm deodorant on it.  Don't do this if your scratching has already broken the skin.  Reapply to unbroken skin as often as needed.
