Home Remedies for Mosquito Bites

Mosquito bites

Each of us has been the recipient of a mosquito bite. Bites from a mosquito often result in a burning sensation and a red spot or a bump. Severe itching by scratching may lead to a broken skin which then leads to infection. Taking proper precautions can help limit bites and infestations. Many mosquito bites or strings provoke only a small reaction. Marks on the skin face usually disappear within two days, and there is no need for medical treatment. Sometimes, although rarely, an allergic reaction may occur.

How you may  reduce side effects of   mosquito bites

Results may vary from person to person. What works for some people, does not work for others.

1. Apply a cold compress or ice to help to relieve the swelling, redness, and the itch of the bite.

2. Crush plantain leaves, extracting the juice, and use it on the injured area.

3. You can reduce swelling, redness, and itch of a mosquito bite with bicarbonate of soda.
Mix one teaspoon of baking soda with water. Apply a paste from this mix on the mosquito bite. Leave it for 15-20 minutes.

4. Apply a peel of a banana on the affected area for 5-15 minutes. Rub the peel onto the skin occasionally.

5. Swelling, redness, and itch of a mosquito bite will be reduced with organic cider vinegar.
Mix one tablespoon of warm water and one tablespoon of organic cider vinegar. Apply this solution to the affected area with the cotton ball for 1-2 minutes.

6. Rub an aloe vera gel making a thin layer on the affected area.

7. Rub garlic clove directly onto the skin.

8. And in the end, I want to mention about applying toothpaste, only on the affected area. I suppose everyone knows about this, but I want only to remind you of this trick.
