Itchy, red and blotchy


Yup thats exactly what I am, attractive huh?
Think the west coast midges have taken leave and headed for the east coast.
I have been coating myself in sudacreme but it aint taking the bloody itch away.

Re: Itchy, red and blotchy


I do sympathise. I have several bites but am finding that Lanes Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Cream works far better than antihistamine. Mind you, the cream does pong!

Re: Itchy, red and blotchy


Do you have Benedryl liquid in a dispenser rub-on tube? Works for me with those lumpy burning itching mosquito bites. How I hate them!

Re: Itchy, red and blotchy


I'd go for the antihistamine pills from the chemist first thing in the morning. Get the non drowsy ones though.

Re: Itchy, red and blotchy


How are the bites laine , I do hope that they are alot better and not as itchy, I usually take piriteze when I have been nibbled and that usually works.
