A member asked:

Hi, yesterday at work i was working outside, i am now covered in like 10-12 mosquito bites on my neck. how do i stop the itchiness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bite Back If You Can: First, try not to scratch--just makes it worse and a setup for an infection. Next, cool compress. Next, topical steroid cream. You can get 1% hydrocortisone without a prescription. That should do it but if not then try Benadryl (diphenhydramine) capsules one or two every six hours but remember, it may make you drowsy and cause a dry mouth. If none of that works see a doc. And start using an insect repellant.
