I have a child 7 years old with chiggers. Any remedies to help my baby !??? Please help!!?

Question

Chiggers on a seven year old,how do I get rid of them???

Answer 1

Wash the areas with soap and water and rub calamine lotion on it. This is an anti-itch lotion.

Answer 2

if they can stand it, fill a bath tub with cold water and ice cubes and lay in it for a few mins. i have gotten chiggers before and i have always known to do that

Answer 3

when we grew up on the farm,  grandad would take white kerosene and wipe it gently where the buggers were at with a small towel.  worked every time.  good luck... and be sure to change the bedding!!

Answer 4

This is the "unofficial" cure, I guess you could say...

My mom would always clean up the area with alcohol, and then put clear nail polish directly on the skin where the chigger is below. This would cover the chigger's air hole, resulting in its death. Worked every time.

Answer 5

put clear fingernail polish mix with oil on the bites. This worked pretty quick and gives a lot of relief.

Answer 6

Vinegar bath or you can just pour vinegar on the parts of their body that has them on it, but they will stink for a while :) but that's better than itching because of those annoying chiggers!
