I got bitten by mosquitoes on my hips, so unlike being on my arms where I could put something like a paste, is there anything topical?
I'm taking Benadryl.

According to my big fat Greek wedding Windex heals everything BIGGRIN Jk I have read toothpaste will stop the itch. Do you have calamine lotion? Might help |

Good luck Since you plan to shop tomorrow there is an aerosol. I think it is unguentine. It really works. Look for it. My best! |

Use your most potent finger nail & drive an 'X' shape right square through the bite. I can usually snuff them out for hours that way.
Kinda has to hurt, sting... numbs it for me when I do it.

I've got a problem because since my first "mosquito bite" I've realized I've got lots of them. I must've scratched the poison ivy when it was fresh because I've spread it elsewhere on my body. I usually wear long pants when I go out in the woods, but I wore pedal pushers when I took the dog out (it's been so warm). I'm glad that I didn't touch my eyes or nose. My dad got hospitalized for it. So things could be worse. |

My dad got hospitalized for it. So things could be worse. How are you today autumn? All my best wishes! Doped up on Benadryl, lol Using calamine lotion too (it's what they had), still pretty itchy. My dog chased down a wasp INSIDE the house. I'm still trying to figure out how it got in. It must've been injured (maybe by my dog swatting at it?), because luckily I could grab a huge bunch of paper towel and run around chasing after it like a lunatic and squish it and flush it. It wasn't a regular little bee (I have a large garden, so I'm used to those), but it was long, so either a wasp or hornet. *shivers*
Luck o' the Irish. |

I try to squeeze out as much of the irritant as I can from the bite area first and then apply medication (though I've taken to wiping with soothing Neutrogena astringent).
