Question:

I have like 5 insect bites on my back that are big and swollen that itch and kind of burn what should i do?

Answers:

Benedryl (and its less expensive generic equivalent, and other antihistamines) blocks histamine receptors. Histamine is what causes the swelling and itching.

Another thing that might help is to make a paste by adding a small amount of water to baking soda, and applying it to the effected areas.
