Answers:
Use TEA TREE oil. I also get hugeee mosquito bites, and I've tried using Benadryl, Calamine lotion, etc. They relieve the itching, but tea tree oil works the best. It makes the swelling go down in a day or 2 and it starts the healing process sooner. I get mine from Trader Joe's and it comes in a little bottle so you can just dab a little on the bite 3-4 times a day.
Tea tree oil is recognized as a NATURAL antiseptic. It is used to treat all kinds of infections such as insect bites, acne, yeast infections, etc. Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia:
"Tea tree oil is also effective for treating insect bites, boils and minor wounds. [5] It has also been known to help sooth sunburns, poison ivy, ear infections, and bee stings."
Trust me, this stuff works wonders. Good luck!
