Mosquito Bites

Does anyone have a recommendation for treating mosquito bite scars? During my wonderful vacation, I obtained about thirty mosquito bites all concentrated on my forearm, and even though the size of the bites has gone down, here twenty days later I still have scars from them. Does anyone know of a miracle cream or ointment good for treating scars?

I have no wisdom to offer. I don't get scars when bitten by mosquitos. I lived in an area that was full of them as a kid. You got red scabs the first year you were outside in the summer. From that point on, all you ever got was a white bump which would go away after a few days.

We could always tell when someone moved in from Massachusetts (I lived in New Hampshire) because they hadn't had the same exposure to mosquitos and would get those scabs just like the little kids got, no matter their age.

If you didn't scratch them, they should go away on their own in a few days.

Mosquito Bites Health & Special Psychology

You are talking about those bites you got in Trinidad, right? If it is any contalation - all foreginers go through the same thing.

Well, first off there are three kinds of bites... one is from sand flies and they take long to heal, the other is from mosquitoes that stick there nose real deep-like causing a mark similar to a sand fly and the third is what I call, 'passing for a nip' type of mosquitoes where your skin swells for a bit and then disappears.

Now knowing which bite it is will determine how long it will last, but in keeping with the topic I would say that aloe vera (the pure leaf jelly, not artificial stuff) is the best thing you can use. Within a couple of days you will be amazed with the results and also the soothing feeling the plant's jelly gives to your skin. Now finding a plant maybe a little tricky in the US, but it is a sure cure.

Bites Mosquito

Yes... they were from my trip to Trinidad. I really can't be sure if they were sand flies bites because I had never been bit by them before. I have restrained myself from itching them, but they are still very bumpy and nasty looking. It was funny because every time I bathed and every time I woke up in the middle of the night I would spray myself down with Off Repellent, but those bugs over there just looked at me and probably laughed, "Bug Repellant - laugh.gif !" I'll look for some aloe plants. I think our grocery store has some large aloe leaves in the produce section.

The itch from a mosquito bite can be soothed by cutting open a clove of garlic and rubbing it on the bite.

Mosquito Bites

A mosquito's secret weapon: a light touch and strong wings. How do mosquitoes land and take off without our noticing? Using high-speed video cameras, researchers have found part of the answer: mosquitoes' long legs allow them to slowly and gently push off, but their wings provide the majority of the lift, even when fully laden with a blood meal. For comparison, mosquitoes push off with forces much less than those of an escaping fruit fly. Source 1g.
