What are good ways to make the mosquito bites on my feet stop itching so bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't scratch..#1: First of all do not scratch the bites. That will only add to the inflammation. If you are super sensitive, take Benadryl (diphenhydramine) over the counter for 2-3 days. This may make you drowsy. In addition rub Hydrocortisone cream to the area daily for 1 week. Mostly the toxin that the mosquito introduced needs to subside and the itching will resolve. I have also used ice to the bite to ease itching.
