What can I do to cut the itching??? I can't take any antihistimines or anything like that. I've tried gold bond and lanacane, but neither do much. Help!!!

Dont bother with calamine as it dries the skin too much.

I live in South Florida. Our state bird is the mosquito. I use Isopropyl Alcohol, 70%. Cheap at any drug store. Pour a handful on your legs, ankles and arms. Burns a bit but it takes away the itch. Starts inching again, hit it again. Solution #2: a pint of Jack on ice if your over 21 and at home. Good luck!

I like peroxide, it kills the germs, and it does burn for a few minutes, but it is better than itching for hours. Keep applying it til the itching stops.use a cotton ball. It doesn't take too long. Good luck and don't scratch.

Use an anti-itch cream. Like neosporin.

Try some caladryl. It has benedryl in it. You can also put neosporin or polysporin on any bites that have become crusty from scratching.
