1. I have far too many mosquito bites to count.
2. You can prevent them using off! bug spray or put mosquito torches in your backyard. Some natural repellants work the best.
3. Calamine lotion relieves itching quite well. However for a quick fix I found using your nail to put an x in your bug bite and then not thinking about your bug bite actually relieves the itching for a period of time.

First, I have 1 on my cheek n I work in the garden where many are around.
Second, put orange peels in a jar and let them sit for a while n use the juice as a bug repellent.
Third, the best thing to fix any itch period is Benedryl anti-itch cream. It works for any itch from allergies, bug bites n stings to rashes n oooooh man does it work. U just gotta give it about 3 minutes to work but really rub it in and I swear by this stuff!!!!!! I get hives really bad n this is the only thing I've found that works without having to take a Benedryl pill that makes you drowsy.

You don’t have to sit back and just passively put up with insects, especially those that like to bite (mosquitoes, wasps etc.). Eat asparagus and your sweat will develop an odor that repels insects Or apply lemon oil to your skin.
If you are bitten, there are natural substances to soothe the irritation. Aloe vera has extraordinary powers of soothing skin disorders. It is available in forms for both internal and external application in most health and beauty stores.
If you have one of these amazing plants growing at home, cut the tip off one of the leaves (the leaf will heal itself). Apply the pulp and juice to the itching or swollen area.
Lightly boiled cabbage or leek makes an excellent analgesic poultice. Of course, if you are hiking in the woods, you might have a little trouble finding cabbage! Plantain also works well. Cut it and rub it to get to the juice then apply it to the affected area.

I dont have any mosquito bites right now. I'm outside all the time. I eat lots of garlic. I discovered that eating food with lots of garlic on it before going outside keeps the skeeters away. I do have to use peppermint so that I wont repel people too, but the garlic works beautifully. When I do get those itchy bites, I use a ointment called sting stop.

You can relieve mosquito bites by putting hydrocortizone or an anti itch cream on it on them. I get stung by mosquitoes alot, I started spraying OFF on me before I went outside in the grass. It seems to help. I hope that helps you.

1. None
2. I take B complex vitamins & garlic pills
Mosquitos don't like the taste of them in your blood.
It also gives off an odor (people can't smell it) thru
your sweat glands
.
3. You may be allergic to them
(some people are more than others)
So an antihistime lotion or spray (Benedryl) will help
most effectively take the itch out.
Good luck!

I don't currently have bites, i prevent them by using bug spray (OFF is the best, or anything with citronella) or covering up, and calamine works for me... not the one that's pink, that's ugly. use the clear one...
or use ice and the lotion together, but don't scratch
witch hazel and alcohol will cool it down and sooth the pain temporary,
but calamine and hydrocortizone will relieve the pain the longest,
if you are somewhere where there is diseases, take preventive meds,
speaking from personal experience and hundreds of past bites

no mosquito bites. Don't think the lil bastards even exist where i lil, its way to damn hot here for them
citronella, off bug spray, baby oil, eat alot of garlic.
benadryl (works the best) or other anti-histamines, cortisone cream on the actual bite or like i'm not sure but its like a pink lotion stuff called calamine lotion, rubbing alcohol/witch hazel.

i used to have so many mosquito bites. your best bet is just to use the spray repellant religiously, and to relieve itch, the best working thing is just rubbing an ice cube on it.. it works wonders!!
