Mosquito Bite Treatment

Summertime may be everyone's favourite time of year, but mosquito bites can cause a great deal of irritation. Below you will find a list of ways to treat mosquito bites.

Calamine lotion, otherwise known as the pink stuff, still works.

If you think it, it will disappear! It might sound crazy and those
around you might think you've lost it, but this really works for some people. Just close your eyes and say "I feel no pain" or "I do not itch".

Try tea tree oil. You can find this almost anywhere thanks in large
part to the internet, but you can also find some at a health food
store.

Rub raw garlic over the bites.

Make a paste of water and baking soda and put a dab of paste on your bites. Other pastes that you can make consist of: salt and water or salt and butter.

Apply cold compresses. Whether you use a face cloth, a towel, or you fill a ziplock bag with ice, make sure it's cold.

Aloe vera, whether in gel form or straight from the plant itself,
works magic with mosquito bites. Simply apply it to the bite and
forget about it.

Toothpaste or hemorrhoid cream works on the bites as well.
The more you scratch a bite, the worse it is. The scratching can also lead to scarring and infection of the bite. If the bite gets
infected, contact your doctor for proper treatment.

Both dd and ds are allergic to mosquito bites. The only thing we have found that works to take the itch away is Calamine lotion.

Thanks for this information.
