Benadryl will help bring down the swelling and reduce the itchiness. You can use the topical ointment, spread or sprayed on the skin, or you can take diphenhydramine (Benadryl) caplets or liquid, which will affect all of your mosquito bites equally. Works for me, and that way they don't itch, you don't scratch, and you don't get scars.

Yes - take Benadryl. That will kill the itch and reduce the swelling of the mosquito bites. You can use either the oral form, which will treat all of them at once, or you can apply topical cream or spray to each one individually. But don't do both together, because you can overdose. And next time, wear insect repellent - you don't want West Nile. :)

They usually dont take long to go away. The best solution is to prevent future ones by using bug repellant and avoiding letting them into your home.

I use tea tree oil. Just put a drop on your fingertip, then dab it on the bites. It takes away the itch and helps speed healing ... for me, anyway!

Rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball dries them up.

Afterbite. It works best if you use it right after you get bittten and before you scratch.
