Oatmeal

One of your favorite meals may also be a treatment for a bothersome mosquito bite. Because it contains anti-irritant chemicals, oatmeal can help alleviate itching and swelling. In a mixing dish, combine equal parts oatmeal and water until you get a spackle-like material. Spoon some paste onto a washcloth and place it on the sore skin for about 10 minutes, paste-side down. Then, clean the area.

Instead, if you have a lot of bites, try an oatmeal bath. Fill a bathtub halfway with warm water and add 1 cup of oatmeal or crushed oats. To minimize potential plumbing issues, knot the oats in a piece of cheesecloth or another light fabric beforehand. Consider it a large tea bag that you will put into the bath water. Soak for 20 minutes in the oatmeal bath.
