I have been an attraction to mosquito's for many years. I got a keyring with a mosquito repeller on it as a gift. Used it for years,when it finally died I found another one on ebay. There are quite a few sellers in there. Get yourself a battery operated one, they emit a low noise similar to that of a male mosquito. It's the female ones that bite when they are pregnant so if they hear the noise of a male mosquito they won't come near you. I love mine best $10 investment I have ever bought. Good Luck

I use Caladryl Clear - its a Benadryl/Calamine lotion hybrid. Works great! Bite is GONE within hours. I buy mine at WalMart, and if they have it, I'd imagine anyone would. It's safe for pregnant./breastfeeding moms unlike the cortizone creams.
Try applying hot pack. Hot water, as hot as you can stand it. Or a hot tea bag (not herbal, regular black tea).
Make warm oatmeal and apply topically. Baking Soda paste can also work.
And, don't scratch - PAT it. It stops the itch and won't break the skin like scratching can.

try a paste of water & baking soda...it neutralizes the venom they leave when they bite you....
a mud pack helps too..but is rather gross,as far as I am concerned...
where I live there are many of them...I have alos found a product called "After Bite"..it comes in a pen like thing...you rub it on & it also stops the itching...
Good luck with it...

Goldenseal, pennyroyal oil and tea tree oil are natural insect repellants and are beneficial when applied to affected areas.
Citronella candles are good for repelling mosquitoes.
Calendula ointment is an excellent insect repellent and counterirritant. You can also try cedar or eucalyptus. These are available in oil, spray and lotion form.

Rub some Dandelion juice on the bite, from the stem or branchlets.
Burn a little camphor at night they will stay away and it smells great. you can get camphor blocks at your chemist.

rubbing alcohol, or some type of cream. I am not sure (I probably didn't help much). I've heard of Gold Bond Itch relief or something like that.
