Hey Everyone :) I'm Kate and a level 2 mod on here. I've had this account since July 2004, so I've been on here since I was 13! Wow ... crazy for me to think how long ago that was. I will admit I don't check in as often as I once did, but being away at college, being in a sorority, and having a job when I'm not at school is very time consuming. I still try to help out as much as possible, and if you send me a question I WILL answer it. This site helped me a LOT when I was in high school and had a lot of questions, and I'm here to help anyone who needs it :) Feel free to write in my forum or send me a question any time!
advice
are there any ways to make mosquito bites go away faster? or to at least make the swelling go down.
another thing too, i always end up getting scars from the bites. i don't scratch them and they don't scab, but when they go away i end up with a dark spot where the bite used to be. why does that happen?
Wash the bite with soap and water as soon as possible. Rubbing soap directly onto the bite may help reduce the itching.
Baking soda and water - make a past and apply it to the bites.
Hold an ice cube or ice pack on the bite.
Rubbing alcohol often relieves the itch and swelling..
Calamine lotion
1% cortisone cream
Topical Anesthetics intended to relieve bug bites
