Over the weekend I was attacked by mosquitos, can someone PLEASE tell me what I can put on these bites to stop the itching and make them go away. The worst part about it was that I used OFF to keep them away, apparently that doesn't work. Someone help me!

I get them bad and I thought this was strange, but it really worked. Dip a Q Tip or tiny corner of a cloth in boiling hot water. Touch it very quickly to the bite, just until you feel that little burn. Itch was gone and swelling went away quick.

If you're in the uk, the herbal sray for insect bites from Boots works really well.
Otherwise, I find some Piriton (an antihistamine) works in syrup form. Or a cream such as anthisan works well too.

Use 'mopiko' ointment which comes in tube-form and it
really works - after you have applied it, the itchiness from
mosquito bites disappears in a few seconds.
You can buy it at any local pharmaceutical store in town.
It's very effective. Try it today!

Calamine lotion, Aveeno oatmeal bath and Aveeno lotion, Sarna lotion, Benadryl either oral or cream. (A note about Benadryl: if you use Caladryl, DO NOT use Benadryl too!!) All of these should ease the itching.

you HAVE to try Benedryl... they make an anti itch ointment. it comes in spray and gel form. i have the gel form and it works so well, and its a 4 oz bottle so it lasts.

I recomend "Itch-X" It works great, and last a long time. You can find it at your local drug store.
