I have numerous mosquisto/bug bites on my legs, and I am in need of a cure. Is there any type of cream that I can use to clear up these bites quickly and effectively without leaving scars or skin discoloration?
How can I clear up mosquito/bug bites on my legs, quickly without scars or signs of them ever being there?
Take an antihistamine like Benadryl syrup and a weak topical steroid cream like Hydrocortisone cream .
The lesions are caused by a type of allergic reaction to the mosquito bites , and a steroid and an antihistamine are STANDARD treatments for most allergies .
Reply:Use hydrocortisone for the itching and whatever you do...don't scratch
Reply:For me, witch hazel works great on bug bites.
Reply:Pure essential lavander oil straight on bites takes out the sting and stops scarring.
Reply:I always use plain old rubbing alcohol on all bites I get, especially right when I get them. It stops the itch and goes away. Good luck to you.
Reply:yes....it's called don't scratch at them, so they won't become infected by staph (impetigo) and IF you already have that, go to the MD and they will give you some cream or ointment to put on them to heal them. You know they make stuff to put on your skin to prevent the mosquitoes from biting you in the first place. It's inexpensive and worth keeping in the medicine cabinet. It's called Skintastic. There are others, but I've used it and it smells good and works.
