Does anyone have problems with mosquitos biting them ALL THE TIME, then the bites turn into scars, what helps?

Question

once the mosq. bites, it itches like crazy, no matter what I use, then turns into a big sore, then leaves a scar. does anyone know why they are attracted to me, and not other people, and what I can do to keep them away from me.

I can use bug spray, and they will still get me.

Answer 1

In my family, I am the only person who would get itch with mosquito bite. I was told that my blood or body odour is having something that attracts mosquitoes and the red bump would remain for a few hours till I rub water or "calendula' (Homeopathic medicine) over the area. My family members in childhood as well as my own family now never experience similar predicament. So, in a way, I sympathize with you and hope that you protect your body from the female mosquitoes. Best of Luck.

When the mosquito stabs her needle-like mouthparts through the skin of her victim, she injects her saliva -- teeming with digestive enzymes and anticoagulants. The first time a person is bitten, there is no reaction. With subsequent bites, the person becomes sensitized to the foreign proteins, and small, itchy, red bumps appear about 24 hours later. This is the most common reaction in young children. After many more bites, a pale, swollen hive, or wheal, begins to appear within minutes after a bite -- followed by the red bump 24 hours later. This is the most common reaction in older children and adolescents.

With repeated mosquito bites, some people begin to become insensitive again, much as if they had allergy shots. Some older children and adults get no reaction to mosquito bites (unless they go for a long time without being bitten -- then the process can start again). Other people become increasingly allergic with repeated stings. They can develop blistering, bruised, large inflammatory reactions. For these people, avoiding being bitten is a particularly good idea.

Answer 2

they are turning into scars because you are itching them until they bleed and than the skin starts to tear. use anti-itch cream.

To avoid mosquitoes you have to know their behavior. Most urban mosquitoes only bite when you are sleeping and unconscious. During the day they will hide behind bookshelves and curtains and stay their for hours at a time until you are asleep. To counter this put screens on your windows to keep them out and kill any that are already in your room. Theyre tough to kill too, real small and blend in really well with anything.

I was born and raised in Lake Charles, Louisiana we use to use vitamin e oil on the bites to stop the scars. Soon as you shower oil your body with vitamin e oil everyday and the scars will disappear. There is a cream the doctor prescribe for fast healing the scar, just ask him about infected skin cream and it helps also but as time progress the scars will disappear. Try also to take 1000 mg a day intake and you would not get affected easily after you are bitten. God Bless

Answer 4

Before you go out spray yourself down with some sort of bug repellent. OFF is the best I have found. Second don't scratch them!!! They will turn into sores then scars. If you already have scars there are some creams out there to make them less visible.

Answer 5

lol this will probably sound dumb to you if you arent from the south but there's this thing called SKEETER STICK..yea laugh it up but that thing works! Once you get the bite, it keeps it from itching...but the best thing to do would be to prevent the bite with some spray before going outside. They might be more attracted to you if you smell sweeter. Don't put on cologne or perfume or hairspray.

Answer 6

What have you tried? They have wrist bands that help keep bugs in general away. Mosquitoes don't like lubricated skin, lotions, oils help repel them. I use lemon oil and olive oil soap, the soap doesn't leave a film or anything but it makes it harder to bite, they want dry skin easy to break through. Some people like Skin So Soft by Avon, they also make a Buggered so soft product that is new. I also use mint, chew gum, all bugs in general do not like menthol. So for me its the soap, the lemon oil mist on my arms, legs, and then menthol like gum, cough drop, or even rubs like mineral ice around my neck.

Answer 7

I can relate. I have the worst mosquito bites. And when they itch I HAVE to scratch. Then I swell up. Even if you try you ignore them, they still can drive you crazy. I have been using Benadryl cream. It reallly is a temporary solution. I know that is not much help to you, but I just wanted you to know that you are not alone.

Answer 8

I have this problem as well. My doctor said I needed to eat fewer sweets and less fruits.
Also I had to add more garlic and spicier foods to my diet such as chipotle peppers, chili's, curry, etc., to be less attractive smelling through my sweat glands.

I know this sounds odd but these critters are attracted to us through scent..yours is like an invitation to a banquet.

Give this a try. You might also go to a health food store and ask for more help. Those folks are really knowledgeable.

Good 'Luck!

Answer 9

The simple answer is quit scratching it you dip! That's why you get scars and such!

Put bug juice on. Hey...what's the worst you have to do?....shower? I assume this act is not strange to you.

It'll work..believe me. Especially while you're out in the woods with the rest of your teenage buddies drinking beer from that keg. While you hide form the cops.

Best of luck. The skeeters thank you for your blood too.

Answer 10

The best thing to do is not itch it. Then it won't bleed and scab and scar. If you can resist scratching a sting for at least an hour after you notice it, it tends to go away a lot faster.
