So, I have some mosquito bites from last week. They're so damn itchy! I currently have some Savlon. Is there anything better I can use? And how long do they take to go?
Sprays and creams just draw your attention to the bite I find. Best just to stick with general painkillers and try and forget they're there, at least if you can put it out of your mind for a while it won't be quite so bad.
In the past I've bandaged my mosquito bites up as they become very red, large, and swell up my legs, you can't see them and therefore forget about them! It's the only thing I find that works
Quite often there is a very tiny blister at the centre of a mosquito bite. If you are very precise, you can pop it without causaing any lasting damage, and in my experience they have stopped itching immediatley aftwards.

Yeah, I put a plaster on one of them last night partly because I kept catching it.
Hydrocortisone cream. Stops the itching and redness quickly.
this although I usually have to take antibiotics when I get bitten. Got blood poisoning from one once, and now every time I get bitten I have a bad reaction to it
Use Jungle Cream from Boots. It might stink a little but it does prevent more bug bites. Also Alo Vera that's been in the fridge will cool the skin down and moisturise the area. If not, just forget it's there and it shouldn't feel itchy.

^ Good advice.
She's even put the pic up of when she was stung on her lip as her avatar.
