What can make a mosquito bite less itchy?

calomine lotion

Ichy feeling is a Hystamine release. The best way to reduce the ichy feeling is to stop or remove the hystamines. For skin, use heat. This trick applies to bites, but even more effective with poison ivy. Put the skin area under hot running water. As hot as you can stand without burning your skin. The heat will cause the hystamine to release instantly (like one Big ichy feeling). Afterwards, you will have relief from the iching for about 5 hours.

cortisone

aloe vera

lavender oil will be very effective see more on aromatherapy and essential oils at: Lavendar -- Used as a mild analgesic (painkiller).

Hi, mosquito's do about the same as bees do.When they sting you,they put their poison into you that's what makes it hurt,or itch.There are a few old fashion things that you can do.Most people have baking soda,and meat tenderizer in their homes. grab either one,and make a paste out of it. Than apply to the sting,or bite.The tenderizer breaks down the proteins in the insect venom. You can also make a paste out of powered milk,and add pinch of salt to it,and apply it to where you are itchy.As The milk will neutralize the insect-bite venom. I you want to know how to keep them off you ,try some apple vinegar,there are other things that you can use also.

I always use clove oil(the stuff that's in anbolsol) that not only numbs it so that it stops itching, its also mildly anti microbial so it make the annoying little bugger go away faster. It's best if you haven't scratched it at all(for it to go away overnight) but it will still work for faster healing even if you have scratched it. I apply it to myself, my family, and recommend it to my clients as well. All have had fabulous results! Good Luck!
