Local Treatment - Itchy Insect Bites (including all mosquito bites)

• Apply calamine lotion or a baking soda paste.
• If the itch is severe, use 1% hydrocortisone cream. Apply 4 times a day until the itch is less severe, then switch to calamine lotion.
• Try applying firm, sharp, direct, steady pressure to the bite for 10 seconds. A fingernail, pen cap, or other object can be used.
