I went over to an old friend's house over last weekend and I ended up sleeping on the ground, I got a bunch of bites (fleas or something) and they're really itchy and ALL over my body.. at least 10+. There's one on my palm, 5 on my ankles, one on my eyelid...

Are there any homemade treatments for the itchiness or to make it go away quicker? >.<

Hmmm... the only homemade treatment i know, is something my mum told me...
She swears that putting saliva on bug bites make them stop itching... =.="
Uhhh... yeah.... i dont think u would want to do that though ^^

There are loads of creams that u can get from pharmacies to put on itchy bug bites... Even to put on the one on ur eyelid...

U think 10+ is bad? When i went camping in yr 5 .... i got 12 mozzie bites JUST on my face and 7 on my arms and legs (which were covered and therefore bitten less) ... I swelled up like a tomato *cry cry*
Such traumatic memories O__O"

10+ is not bad..

uhm.. try using ice cubes
rub the ice cubes individually on each bite until the swell is gone..
or basically until the itchyness is all gone
doesnt take long

lol...it sounds gross but it works....altho its very temporary. I suggest you just get a cream instead of homemade recipes because thats the stuff that will stop the swelling, redness, scarring, and well...the itchiness. smile.gif

yeah, i was going to say numb it - it'll at least temporarily take the itch away
or you can buy moolpas (this korean thing) and apply the liquid on your bug bite. i use this all the time during summer and it really, really works (: it stings for a while and smells, but at least the itch is gone !

my co-worker taught this to me: use roll on deodorant.

it worked for me LOL (make sure you use the ones that disappear over time or you'll be walking around with white streaks all over)

My grandmother used to tell me to use Calamine lotion (this pink drying liquid) and it always worked. It was really messy, though. We ran out so now I'm stuck with these huge bumps that will invetiably leave scars.

Put hot rice on it. Once it cools down, microwave the rice and use it again. Works for me.

Calamine lotion does it.

Or --

Go to your local drugstore and look for some Benedryl. I use the squirting/spray from that brand that helps relieve the itchiness. It 'cools' the bugbites too, lol. smile.gif

Your standard hydrocortizone cream usually works out pretty well. If you scratch it, then chances are, it'll itch even more.

Maybe some aloe vera? It works great when your skin becomes inflamed, so maybe it'll help cool off the swelling in your bugbites.

Use Afterbite...and if that doesn't really help, just slap or saliva works temporarily too.

except goldbon, after it wheres if, it might make ur skin a little bit red...

Haha, that's what I do to get rid of the itching too. And in a really strange way, it kind of feels good.
