Bug Bite Anti Itch

Mistreatedbycs — Thu, 07 Jul 2016 13:13:18 GMT

Not sure what bit me but I have 2 bites that just won't stop itching. Used all the basics but still nasty itching.

For whatever reason after getting so frustrated that they still itch for days, I just grabbed my Olay Anti Aging Moisturizer and rubbed some of that on...........

it's gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the itching it gone, I have no idea what or why but all I know no itching immediately.

@Mistreatedbycs ... Good for you! Discovered a new way to use it. Might want to leave a review about it on their website. I use "After Bite" when I get a bite...which is rare as bugs don't like me.

I've always used aloe gel from Walgreens. It works great for any type of itching problem.

Funny that your Olay mosturizer did the trick!

I rub Tea Tree oil into the bites. Works every time.

I always use Benedryl cream and/or First Aid Beauty cream. It works on small patches of poison ivy, etc. as long as it isn't blistering or weeping. I have super sensitive skin and will get "transfer" rashes from just touching garden gloves, etc.

@Just Bling If all else fails, use rubbing alcohol. Put some lierally in a tissue or cotton ball and wipe over the bug bite/itchy area. Most times this will stop the itch right away.

I use this when I know I've been biten by a mosquito. I also feel like the alcohol takes away some of the 'poison' if you will. Always works for me.

After Bite is great. Also, I use my hand sanitizer on itchy spots, and bug bites, works great.

What has always worked for me is a paste of just plain old baking soda ..... yup, baking soda.

My mom always used a cotton ball with some rubbing alcohol on it or hydrogen peroxide, vinegar also works well. Stops itch instantly and takes down swelling and redness. Remember good ol' Bactine? That worked well on scrapes and cuts and bug bites

when we were kids. It wonder if they still make it?

We have been suffering an INVASION of spiders. We have found that a spritz of Windex (ammonia really) helps a lot.

For the long term, Cortisone cream, and first, a schmeer of benadryl.

Listerine works great for itching from bug/mosquito bites.

Absolutely, @AKgirl2!!!! I had intended to mention that but I was so distracted by scratching, I forgot. The "door scene" with all the bridesmaids is one of my favorites.

I use lavender essential oil for bug bites and itchiness. Non toxic and works.

@violann, it was a good and funny movie with good storyline.
Have you seen MBFGWII? I wonder if it's as good?

An invasion of spiders sounds scary...what kind of spiders are biting you?😳
