Insect Allergies...Can Somebdy Help Me?

Tweet

So we were out to our soon to be new home again today, getting the floors measured and what-not, and while sitting outside waiting for the realtor, I got bit by a mosquito, next to my eyebrow. I guess for most people this would just be a minor irritation and a small red bump. Not for me. Idevekhave, in the last few years, developed an allergy to bug bites, I am aware now that I am allergic to both mosquitos and black-flies, I have not recently been bit by a bee or wasp, god knows what would happen then, but what has happened with the mosquito bite, is that it has blown up into a big brusied looking bump that looks like someone hit my in the head with a hammer. I have tried off the shelf allergy medications and they have done nothing for me. Right now I have a huge gob of Benedryl Cream and a bandaid covering the lump, but I don't think it's helping much. Does anyone know od any medications or natural remedies that really work for taking the swelling out of a bite from a bug that you are allergic to? Please help, I don't want to spend the summer looking like I was attacked with a bag of hammers.
