Answer:
hydocortisone cream helps the best, you should definately have some around the house at ALL times.
OTHER IDEAS:
paste made from baking soda and water.
benadryll
nail polish
rubbing alcohol
Apply an ice pack.
Ice not only has a numbing effect, it also helps to reduce the uncomfortable swelling associated with the itch. You can use a professional ice pack sold in your local drugstore or simply apply a pack of vegetables from your freezer to the areas that are itching. You'll swiftly experience welcome relief from your skin itch.
Try over the counter Benadryl.
If you have severe itching, you can relieve the symptoms and promote sleep by taking a 25 milligram tablet of Benadryl. Take this medication at night since it can cause drowsiness and can make some people feel disoriented.
Apply Vick's Vapor Rub to the affected areas.
It might not have the most pleasant smell in the world, but it can be quite effective in the treatment of itching. Apply it full strength from the container.
Try an oatmeal or cornstarch bath.
Add some oatmeal or cornstarch to your bath water for swift itch relief.
Stop scratching.
Rub a bar of soap over the itch. I just tried this (Ivory soap) and the relief was near instant. I used a dry bar of soap directly on the skin, but I also have notes that you can spritz bite with water and then run bar of soap over area–or use a wet bar of soap.
Place a piece of scotch tape on the bite; or dab rubbing alcohol or ammonia on the bite first then stick on a piece of tape.
Hot water: Take a hot shower, or a hot bath, or apply a hot compress. As hot as you can stand it without burning you.
Ice cube, ice pack or very cold water
Nail Polish
Strong tea blended with rubbing alcohol
Toothpaste (works for me)
Mouthwash
Vinegar (apply directly to bite or take a hot bath with 2 cups of vinegar in the water)
Honey
Underarm deodorant (solid or roll-on) - apply directly to bite area
Rubbing Alcohol
Ammonia
Bleach
Tea: Use a hot tea bag or a cotton ball soaked in hot tea to dab on bite area
PASTES
Baking Soda & Water (works for me)
Meat Tenderizer & Water
Salt & Water (works for me)
Epsom Salt & Water (could also do this as a foot soak if it’s the ankle/foot area affected)
Tums Tablets: crush and add a few drops of water
Aspirin: crush then add a few drops of water
Aspirin - crush then apply a few drops of rubbing alcohol
Leaf Applications: Crush the fresh leaves roughly then apply to bite area
Basil
Plantains (Plantago)
Fruity Applications: Use fresh fruit & apply directly to bite
Lemon Juice
Lemon Slice
Lime Juice
Lime Slice
Banana Peel (rub inside of peel on bite)
I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER! (:
Answer:
I suffer from bites if I don't use insect repellent. I find Tea Trea Oil dabbed on neat helps the irritation. I also take an antihistamine pill. Anti histamine oinment is good if you can apply it immediately you’re bitten. The ideal thing (in the future) is to ensure you use repellent if you know you are going somewhere you are prone to get bitten.
Answer:
use a product specifically for bug bites, you can find at the drugstore or even just a grocery store. I use a product called After Bite
