A member asked:

Why do i always get riddled with mosquito bites? like 20+ on just one leg in 4 hours of the night, why am i always getting bitten? how can i stop it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bites no more: Use an insecticide spray such as "off" the repellant should be applied at night and especially applied to the arms and legs.

A member asked:

Hi! When I shave (only legs & under arm) I get terribly itchy. may be razor bumps. I scratch so much I rub my skin raw. Would waxing the areas relieve the itchiness a bit? If not how can I stop this? I cannot let this get in the way of my hygiene?
