What's recommended as a cure for or at least help the itch from a bug bite?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Soothing......: To treat bug bites consider applying calamine lotion. Apply crushed ice or a cold pack. A 1 to 1 mix of water and baking soda is effective when applied to the lesions. You can take oral medications like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or chlorpheniramine.
