8 tips to relieve itching after mosquito bites

1. At home, you can use strong soap to quickly relieve itching, or dip soap in water and apply it to the red and swollen areas.

The reason is the sodium salt of higher fatty acids in soap. The sodium salt of this fatty acid is alkaline (containing OH-) after hydrolysis. The aqueous solution of formic acid contains H2O. Because the OH- in soapy water neutralizes with the H2O in formic acid to form H2O, it can quickly eliminate pain and itching.

2. Apply some ammonia to relieve itching. The principle is the same as above.

3. If the bite is very itchy, you can flick it with your fingers first, and then apply floral water, wind oil, etc.

4. Apply or soak the itchy area with salt water, which can soften the swelling and effectively relieve itching.

5. You can use the juice from aloe leaves to relieve itching. If the area becomes red, swollen and itchy after being bitten by a mosquito, you can cut a small piece of aloe vera leaf, wash it, break it apart, and apply it to the red and swollen area a few times to reduce the swelling and relieve the itching.

6. Break a garlic clove and apply the cut surface to the mosquito bite. It will heal in a short while and also relieve the itching.

7. Grind the aspirin pills and apply them to the wound with water, which also has the effect of reducing inflammation and swelling.

8. If you are sensitive to mosquito bites, you may want to take an antihistamine before going out.
