No matter if i use Off or any other mosquito repelent i still get bit alot. A while ago the doctor said there isnt much i can do about the reaction. That is, they look normal at first, swell up very very large and get really red. They itch so bad and when the swelling goes down the area bruises. Is there anything to calm the reaction? I mean, it is so bad that if i scratch the skin tears open a bit. The lotions or after bite solutions work for about 2 minutes then wear off. What can i do??
Answer:
i am in the same position, i know exactly how you feel and nobody believes me how big and red they get until i get bit..anyway i find that putting a little bit of bleach on the bite seems to help.
i have this same exact thing. I use water and ice when they itch. And moisturize them as much as possible. Use bandaids when they start to get bad. When you go out, I know it sucks but bring long sleeves and pants, socks and tennis shoes. spray them with bug spray too. Don't eat too many sweets.
First, to avoid getting bitten wear lighter colored clothing and avoid colognes/perfumes when you are outdoors.Next, there is a calamine lotion that contains a higher proportion of alcohol which helps with the itching.Next, and this may sound stupid but it works although I don't understand how, as soon as you realize you've been bitten make an X shaped indentation across the bump with your fingernail. Do it with enough pressure that it goes down the full height of the bump, but not enough to break the skin.
