Mosquito Bites

[Dominato3r]

I have five of them right now. Three in one area on my lower belly, and two on my ass cheek. Anyone know of a good way to stop the itch? I don't scratch them and they still itch like mad.

Nuke from orbit?

Cut them off.

Cut them off.

Touch = itch

probably get an anti-itch cream

An old korean folk way of dealing with it: (and it works)

1. wet your finger tip and the tip of your finger nail with your spit
2. dig nail marks into the bite in a cross shape (X)
3. the sharp lasting pain on the swollen bite makes you forget about the itch, once the pain is gone, itch should be minimal too.

Call your mother and blame her for not teaching you how to take care of yourself?

Seriously, hit up a local grocery store and get some Cortaid if it's that bad.

Pics of ass cheek?

I tried Goldbond, not working

Okay I'll try this.

itch = histamine reaction
benadryl cream [antihistamine] = no itch

Get any brand with Diphenhydramine HCI, the higher the % the better.

vinegar works very well

Douse it with rubbing alcohol to complete the remedy.

Benadryl. Not the topical kind, the pill (IMO) Or any generic labeled Diphenhydramine will stop the itch.

I've always done this after the first time someone told me it worked, but for me it never works. Once the initial pain is gone, it starts itching again.

Yet I continue indenting x's into my skin for no reason :\

How did you get mosquito bites on your ass cheek? Last I checked, your skin had to be exposed to get bitten.

I was going to ask that... then I thought.... THOSE aren't mosquito bites

Man.. I have 8 on my left arm, 4 on my left calf, and 1 on my left face (cheek). GODDAMN IT!!!! Why ONLY THE LEFT SIDE?!?!?!

Last time I was in Taiwan earlier this year, they raided my left arm w/ 10 bites. I HATE MOSQIUTOS! AND BITE MY OTHER ARM TOO SOMETIME!! ARRRRGG!!!! too late for me. I scratched some of them until it bled.. causing scarring. oops.

The nail+X method never worked for me. My left arm got bitten so badly, I couldn't flex my left arm at all. I got a pin, and poked a hole (until I bled) in the center of the bite to relieve the itch. I doused it with rubbing alcohol after. The next day, I would pinch it until it popped the clotted wound.
Some of the bites had some clear-yellow fluid coming out, that would dry hard. ugh. I HATE MOSQUITOS WITH A PASSION!

Vinegar ?

 

[moshquerade]

Vinegar ?

Tried to buy it, but didn't have his proof on him.

 

[Dominato3r]

This happened while I was asleep. The fingernail thing kinda worked, couldn't try it on my ass.

@ the exposed comment: I don't know. We have some really fucked up mosquitoes in the praries.

Maybe you should just walk around with one of these at all times.

Hmm to be different I will suggest calamine lotion

 

[midwestfisherman]

Calamine lotion FTW.
