How can i get rid of redness from mosquito bites?

Question:

I know it's an allergic reaction and I've been popping benadryl like crazy - but i have a TON of bites all over my arms and legs and i'd really like to know if i can get rid of the redness quickly. They don't itch anymore - they're just a little red and raised. Gross.

Answers:
Tea Tree oil will stop them from itching and usually reduce them to nothing within 24 hours.

Other Answers:
water

hydrocortisone

I would say rub some ice over your arms.that may help with the redness and reduce some of the swelling, but mosquito bites usually go away as they please.

Cortisone cream and aspirin (take with food) which is an antiflammatory.

I am allergic to many mosquitoes, too.

Applying cold water or ice seems to help the swelling and the redness, but i haven't found anything to make it just go away.
Benedryl is the best med i have found for it.

Try using Benadril cream, and take a low dose aspirin or Ibuprofen to reduce the inflamation (redness). That will help.

Honestly I don't know. My son is allergic too. But I can tell you how to prevent mosquito's from biting you. This may sound strange, but it works. Take Vitamin B. It produces a smell in your skin that the mosquito's don't like. You won't be aware of it. Don't worry it doesn't make you stink. But you will have less bites.

rub your arms with some Methylated Spirits stings a little but works a treat

MISERY ! I get bitten a lot and am allergic to antihistamine - I use a product called AFTER BITE and keep it with me all the time during the summer months - it works brilliantly. It comes in a pen like applicator which contains a 3.5% w/v ammonia solution. After 3 or 4 applications the bite goes down and stops itching. Available from most chemists / pharmacies and some big supermarkets stock it on their healthcare shelves (Asda/Tesco). Have included link to the manufacturers web-site. Good Luck !!
