The ubiquitous mosquitoes are to blame for everything, striving to plant their proboscises deeper in you and sip your honestly produced blood. Here are a few simple tips to help you deal with itching from mosquito bites and get some long-awaited relief.
1. Creating an "X" with a fingernail
We all do this from childhood, but none of us knows why. It is believed that pressing the nail on the bite brings some pain, which distracts us from itching. The main thing is not to press too hard, otherwise you can damage the skin, through the wound in which an infection can easily enter our body.
2. Hand sanitizer
Alcohol and hand sanitizers (again, 99% alcohol) with antiseptic properties not only decontaminate the bite site, but the resulting burning sensation from their use helps to relieve itching
3. Scotch tape
It is believed that a piece of adhesive tape, pasted for several hours at the site of a bite, not only significantly reduces itching, but can also extract from the skin what the mosquito left in it. There is not a ton of scientific explanation for this method, but in any case, even if it does not work, the tape will save the bite from scratching
4. Aspirin
Aspirin contains acetylsalicylic acid, which is an anti-inflammatory agent. Crush a few tablets and mix with water to make a paste to apply directly to the bite
5. Vinegar
Due to its low acid levels, vinegar is an excellent remedy for mosquito bites. You can spot it on the bites, and if the mosquitoes have made a smorgasbord out of your body, you can add 2-3 cups of vinegar to the bath, and then take it
6. Remedy for hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoid cream is specifically designed to reduce inflammation and relieve itching. Even on skin that is far away from your ass..
7. Toothpaste
The vast majority of toothpastes have a mint flavor, because they usually contain ingredients containing menthol. Menthol significantly cools the skin, and our brain feels a feeling of freshness stronger and faster than the sensation of itching. In addition, some toothpastes contain anti-inflammatory ingredients that can help reduce swelling.
8. Banana peel
This is a remedy used all over the world, but which has no scientific justification. However, some experts suggest that the sugar in the banana skin may have a soothing effect and draw fluid out of the bite.
9. Hair dryer
Itching from mosquito bites occurs because during the bite, insects leave protein compounds in the skin. Itching is your body's reaction to the protein they left behind. Heat can break down these compounds and stop itching. Point the hair dryer directly at the sting until the skin is warm, but don't overdo it so you don't get burned.
10. Oatmeal
Oatmeal can relieve itching and reduce swelling due to the content of special anti-irritants. Make a paste of oatmeal (oatmeal) and water in a bowl, then apply some of the paste on the irritated skin, leave on for about 10 minutes, then wash off

13. Ice
The principle of operation is the same as for a burn. Ice can reduce swelling and act as a local anesthetic, providing temporary relief from itching.
14. Baking soda
Being alkaline, baking soda regulates the pH of the skin, providing relief from itching. Dissolve one teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water. Dip a clean cloth into the resulting mixture and apply the cloth to the affected area of the skin for 10-20 minutes
15. Basil
Basil contains camphor and thymol, two compounds that can relieve itching. To do this, simply crush a fresh basil leaf and apply to the affected area.

Salt has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe the skin after a bite. You can make a solution by adding a few drops of water to a small amount of sea or table salt and apply to the sting, or take a hot bath with the salt added first.
17. Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help relieve itching. For even better results, store your aloe vera product in the refrigerator, as the cold will greatly help with itching and reduce swelling.
