Soothe my mosquito bites

    For some reason I managed to get 3 mosquito bites on my left foot and 1 on my left hand while being inside with the windows basically closed.

    3 on my foot are on my toes and 1 is where my metatarsals are. Looks stupidly red and swollen.

    So far I've done the "X-Cross" and "scotch tape" techniques with only minimal relief.

    You just gotta leave them alone man. Do something that distracts you for a couple hours and you're golden.

    Take a hot/warm bath for your feet. Then take a cold damp cloth and put it over your feet to ease it lol.

    Use After Bite. You can buy it at superstore. A twin pack is only $5.49. You can try the AfterBite Extra but the original works fine for me, just a bit runny. Don't scratch for the first 3 days and they will be gone really quickly. If you scratch they could be there for a week plus...

    After Bite comes in a thick pen like applicator with a roller ball. It's at all the big chain drug stores. No chinese herbs. It's a white container with orange writing.

    Yea the afterbite should work. You could also use Lanacane.
