Okay I was at two barbecues over the weekend, did not notice that the mosquitoes were biting me, even though other people were commenting on them. I have a ton of bites on the tops of my feet that are itching me like mad. I have put some benadryl cream on them, but still itching. Anyone have any at home remedies that work well to take the itching away, let me know asap, thanks.

I wrote an article on itch cream just the other day. There is a Japanese brand called Mopiko. It works wonders, but I don't know if it is available in the West. I don't have any home remedies though, but if you want to get the Mopiko, I can mail one to you. It works! My friend who has migrated to NZ swears by it and when I sent a package to her recently, she asked me to insert a few tubes of Mopiko. You may want to search one at your local Asian store.

Thank you for this, I do have a store that sells Asian products at it, I can check there.
If not a neighbor tonight told me about this spray stuff he has used so I was going to try that also.

I've read lots of remedies and none have worked. I know they say not to, but I always just scratch the bites open and sometimes even give the bite a squeeze to help the poisons come out. This makes it stop itching pretty quick but leaves a mark for months or longer!

Thanks Katsmeow I would not care at all about the spots just want the itch to go away. It is driving me crazy. I wore socks all day today even though it was 90 degrees just so I would not itch at them the whole day.
I might use your method, spots or not don't care at this point.

Hi, auroastorm. This is what I hate and despise the most about the summer time!! These pesky mosquitoes!
I have heard that keeping a cool cloth over the itch will help lessen it some. In the meantime, you can invest in a bug spray to keep these insects and other pests away from you. You can visit this website: www.buggspray.com

Yeah i know of one way, try to moisten the affected area with water.After you do that add just a small amount of salt to the bite.This should quickly take the itch away from the bite.I heard that deodorant works just the same way and will relive the itchiness quickly.

I had never heard of these but am willing to try just about anything, thank you for the quick response and I will be trying this as soon as I get off the computer.
