Nothing much for immediate relief but if you put nail polish over the area it will suffocate them. Good luck.I had them yrs ago and was covered on my entire right side before I knew to put nail polish on the area. UPDATE: I've seen some of the answers.Nothing topical will work other than nail polish. Chiggers are tiny spiders that burrow under the skin,lay eggs and continue the cycle.They WILL spread if not killed.The only way is to suffocate them.

Man! I hate chiggers. I went fishing and both legs were covered in chigger bites. I tried the nail polish and that absolutely did not work for me. When you use polish to smother them, they burrow further. What I finally did was, I know this is gross, but I got a neddle and started opening the bites and squeezing them out. Be sure that you get UNDERNEATH. That was years ago and unless you have a high tolerance for pain I would grab a bottle of Tequila as well. For mosquito and wasp bites/stings, ammonia bleach works if put on quickly after bite. I would try that first. Also, Benadryl is an antihistamine. Chiggers itch because they are burrowing underneath the skin's surface, not becasue they are releasing histamine. Thankfully, I have not had chigger bites in close to 20 years. Good luck to you. Sleep as much as you can so that you don't know that you are itching.
