    Default Mosquito Bites

    I'm due at work tomorrow night, having just returned from an awesome and much-needed trip to South Carolina. The problem is that I got a little too in touch with nature this time and ended up covered from head to toe with mosquito bites. They're not too bad, itchy-wise. They're not the huge welt kind. Just a million red dots all over me. How do I make these go away, and if I can't do that, what can I do to cover them up?

    I'm sitting around my apartment with my legs covered in Mint Julep Masque at the moment. Something has to work for these, right? I KNOW you guys are smarter than google search!

    Try taking some Benadryl. Antihistamines can bring the swelling down and make them less noticeable.

    Calimine lotion... it will ease the itch and the redness should be gone since your not scratching. Also baking soda in warm bath water works wonders.

    Just a note: Make sure to cover them all in antibacterial cream. A mosquito bite gave me staph once! O_O!

    Lavendar essential oil takes out the itch, aids healing, and smells great.

    LOL Lilith....I'm ultra-paranoid about bug bites now because of your staph infection. I've officially become a Neosporin nazi.

    Thanks for all the advice. They feel much less itchy, but they're still there. Good thing it'll be dark... I'm a mess. Oh well. I guess that's what thigh highs are for.
