A member asked:

How can i get rid of mosquito bites itchy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: If really itchy, try over the counter antihistamine like benedryl. Ice applied to the bite can help, and some people like calamine lotion as well. Don't scratch....It will just get worse, last longer, and might get infected.

Dr Bouvier and another doctor agreed
