157 A question about mosquito bites

Try a cut onion, it helps with bee stings so it should help with the mosquito bits. Also meat tenderizer could do the trick. Barring these things try a baking soda bath or wash!! It helps that you resist the urge to scratch although it is difficult to do so. The body will neutralize the injection site in time. Good luck!!

Believe it or not, I take a q-tip and stick it in bleach and rub it on the bite. The inflammation is reduced and the itch goes away. A 72 year old friend of mine noticed that I had a pretty good bite on my arm. It was swollen and itched like the dickens. She put bleach on it and the swelling went away within an hour. The itch lessened too.

Use some off repellent for mosquitos. or use some skin so soft oil body from avon.

This may sound a bit gross but we always put a bit of spit on them or calamine lotion available at most chemists for really bad bites.

Well, don't scratch or it will aggravate the itching and it will only get worse. I have found rubbing vinegar or bread soda on the effected area helps to alleviate the itching.

I'd suggest calamine lotion.

Hi margieanneart. Among the remedy that I found useful for stopping the itching from mosquito bites are: 1. Use tea tree oil. It can be easily found at your nearest store and pharmacies. 2. Apply small amount of toothpaste or hemorrhoid cream on the bites. 3. Fill your face towel with ice. Make sure it’s cold. Rest the towel on the bites. There are more at the website where I found this remedies. You can read the rest of the remedies at http://www.mosquito-nettings.com/

PREVENTION is better than CURE. Don't let mosquito bite you so that you don't had the itching. could not get more simple than this. There are other ways of getting help and they are anti-itching lotion, etc.
