Mosquito Bites
Ok, I went to Florida this weekend and got 9 YES 9 mosquito bites. What do you do for the itching? I've been taking Benadryl tablets for the swelling (when I get bit the area around it swells to twice the size  )
Thank you for anything you can recommend, I'm going crazy

Re: Mosquito Bites
witch hazel takes the sting out...I keep it in the fridge, so that when I do get a bite, the witch hazel is ice cold!

Re: Mosquito Bites
Whenever I get a mosquito bite, I usually end up in the ER. The area swells to the point that I develop cellulitis. Buy some hydrocortisone and keep applying it to the affected areas. That should help with the itch.

Benadryl makes a stick that you rub right on your skin. it works!

How do I know if I am developing cellulitis?
