Mosquito bite relief?

Question

ok...so i went camping over the holiday weekend and had a great time...except at night. i know that for some reason i am a delicacy for mosquitoes. not sure why, but i have come to grips with it. so oi know to wear pants and spray myself with a high DEET bug spray. for some reason though, those buggers laughed at the spray and just saw the jeans as an added obstacle. i have 7 bites on the back of 1 thigh, 6 on each ankle, 8 on my back, and many others on my legs. they are horrible and they itch so badly! i've tried everything to get the itch to go away. i tried a hotter than hot bath, baking soda, alcohol...none of it worked. any other suggestions (not calamine...the smell makes me sick)? thanks for your help!

Answer 1

You can use an antipruritic and anti-histaminic gel(a good one is fenistil :for local pruritus from dermatoses,urticaria,dermographism,derma... from natural causes,insect bites,contact with medusae or plants)  

Answer 2

Maybe an antihistamine. Eat a tablet every day and it should start to go down.

Answer 3

Cortizone cream.. Or something like that. You buy it at the drug store.
