What could be used to relieve the itch from mosquito bites that are 5 days old?

Answer 1

Add saliva on the spot and every time you feel the itch come back

Answer 2

you should probably go to walgreens and buy like alchol or just itching lotion that helps a lot =)

Answer 3

this might sound weird but trust me it works, in fact im using it right now,

apply some minty toothpaste (just a little) on the mosquito bite

hope this helps:)

Answer 4

rubbing alchohol works fairly well on bites, but you may want to head to a pharmacy and just grab some Afterbite.

Answer 5

Ohhhh, I hear you!  I still get flares ups five days later, too.  I HATE when it is on my face!  I use Stidex everynight, removes my makeup and calms the inflammation of skeeter bites.  I also carry a tube of Cortizone (over the counter) of stray gel in my car and purse.  Works wonders.  Also, a bit of advise not asked for, take luke warm showers.  Showers too warm gets the skin agitated again.  I try to take the shower as cool as I can stand it.  It is embarrassing to have a bunch of "warts" all over my body!  I know what you mean.
