I use aloe or cortizone. Trust me I am a Minnesotan we know about mosquitos it is our state bird. Well not technically but we all joke that it is. If you itch it they will only itch more so just use anykind of aloe lotion and that should help

Avon makes a lotion called Skin So Soft that is actually very good at keeping mosquitoes from biting you without the bad smell that many of the commercial repellents have. You can probably order it on their website...avon.com. Making sure you have no standing water in your yard where they can breed is a good way of keeping the population down. As far as the itching goes, lotion will help to keep your skin moist so it's not as irritated or they sell creams for itching at many stores.

That is my biggest problem I live right off a lake so of course they are sticking around there and roaming where ever they can to bite anything they can lol I will keep lotion on but it seems to itch even more though when I do put it on... Thanks for your reply!

I think you have to get a natural mosquito repellent. This cream or lotion helps reduce your exposure to mosquito bites that many carry West Nile virus or other diseases, and allows you to continue mylotting. Hope it helps.
