Hey girl,
I am also allergic to mosquito bites too. Mine don't get as big as cookies but they do itch to the point I scratch flesh off. ( I know and it sounds gross too.) But it is so annoying. A couple of years ago I went to my doctor and he prescribed to me a lotion, more like a clear liquid, but I will swear by it. It does stop the itching and that helps me not get scabs etc. Ask your doctor for it, it's called Beta-Val. (Betamethasone Valerate). For now, you can easily get a hold of Calamine lotion and they have it in a clear form now, instead of the pink stuff.
When I was little my mother used to put tooth paste on my mosquito bites. Yeup, another gross thought but it did stop the itch for a while. Good luck and see your doctor about this! ;))
despite what you may have heard, tea tree oil is likely only to give you a rash.
Try putting some onion on it.
use plain rubbing alcohol, it should take the itch away immediately, it will sting if you have scratched and broken the skin...
EVER TRY LANACANE? STOPS THE ITCH AN MOSQUITO BITES AN OTHER BITES, I USE IT, ONE TIME I GOT ONE ON MY FOOT AN PART OF MY FOOT LOOKED LIKE A HUGE BIG MONSTOROUS RED BUMP, I USE LANACANE, AN BOOM ITS GONE,
Whenevr anyone has been bitten by the critters use vinegar on it. Use a cotton bud or tissue to rub over the area..do not scratch..the more you scratch the bite the worse the swelling. It smells bad but is very effective. If at night you place lavender or fresh mint near your bed the less likely you will be bitten.
