You can put baking soda and mix it with a little bit of water so it makes a paste, and put wherever you have the mosquito bites let it dry it should help.

I used to have maximum of on my leg. some people suggested saliva is truthfully sturdy yet.. i assume that is sort of a annoying option. some suggested bathing in like oatmeal or something. i stumbled on that soaking the bites in particularly warm water, like in the bathe I actually have a detachable bathe head, is the suited at getting rid of the itch. additionally, utilising a loofa and cleansing soap is sorta the thank you to scratch the bites besides the undeniable fact that it would not particularly aggravate them. i could advise the nice and comfortable water ritual from adventure. After-bite is sturdy yet they don't eliminate the itch each and every so often i stumble on. i've got under no circumstances tried the Benadryl Itch-Stick that the above individual reported yet that would artwork. Benadryl from adventure is an extremely respected enterprise so actual you are able to try that. :)

Try making a paste of meat tenderizer with a little water and dab it on the bite areas. The enzyme in the tenderizer is supposed to "draw" the poision out of the bite.

I heard this on Oprah, and it WORKS!
After giving a nice scratch (not too bad) apply a solid anti-perspirant stick to it. The effective ingredients dry up the mosquito venom!

some insect repelants have ingredients in them to soothe already bitten skin, that's what I use. I think the active ingredient is teatree. Go to a chemist, they can also give you an antihistamine tablet, but ask for non-drowsy if you've got exams.

Go to the drugstore and buy "Bag Balm". It comes in a small green can and works wonders for all skin irritations. Its an ointment and works for people and animals too.

Ice them and then apply a cortisone cream.
