Benadryl extra strength cream is AMAZING. Instant relief.

Try using rubbing alcohol on them and/or use an any anti-itch cream (as long as you're not allergic). The rubbing alcohol will cool the areas bitten and
actually helps them heal faster. I got bit really bad over 4th of July and this helped me a lot.

I use calamine lotion, or whatever that pink shit is.

I always use rubbing alcohol, then calamine. Just don't pt the calamine on and then wear a skirt, forgetting you have pink dots...not that I've ever
done that...

Aloe Vera gel/cream
When I was little, my mom used Caladryl Clear on me and it worked great and had a nice scent to it.

I don't know WHY this works, but it does- Use your fingernail to make a little ''X'' mark, right across the bite. It may hurt a little, if
the bite is sensitive, but the itch and sting go away, and the bite clears up in a day or two.

I didn't know that, either. I have a bottle of the pink stuff that is probably from 1995.
