itchy and scratchy

My body was itching so much from the mosquito bites last night and all day today I could hardly work. so, like any normal person, I went to the pharmacy for some rat poison to kill myself. (:
But instead I got some external analgesic gel, as recommended by the pharmacist

who happened to walk by the household chemicals aisle. The one suggested to me was Cortate, but it costs six times more than the Band-aid one. I got the cheaper one and put it on half an hour ago. So far... no good. If anyone reading this needs an anti-itch gel, I'd recommend you try Cortate. Not that I know it'd work, I just know the Band-aid one isn't helping me.

I tried both hot and cold. cold showers relieves the itchiness during the shower but makes it worse afterwards. hot showers actually make each bite hurt, but once finished they don't itch for like an hour.

I bought calamine lotion for mine, it's working well so far, for stretches of about 4-8 hours.

Calamine lotion is the way to go: nothing sooths itching bug bites like it! You end up all pink and patchy, but its worth it for hours of relief! :)
