Repeat after us: DO. NOT. SCRATCH.
In addition to taking an oral treatment like Benadryl, there’s an easy home remedy you can try for mosquito bites: SELF hasthat something as simple as an ice pack or cool compress, applied right on the affected area, can help lessen inflammation and soothe your itchy skin.
Most mosquito bites should get better with over-the-counter treatments, but if yours develop into a severe reaction, don’t seem to be resolving, or even start to look infected , seek medical help. Your doctor or health care provider will be able to prescribe a prescription-strength oral or topical steroid or antibiotic to help the skin heal.
So, even as we look forward to warmer weather and spending more time outside, the realist in us knows that even a smattering of bug bites can make those long summer nights on the porch feel excruciating. And that’s why we’ve highlighted some of the best-selling, top-rated insect bite creams below. Choose the best one for you, then go enjoy the great outdoors.
