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.
