Itching From Mosquito Bites, Keeping Me Up at Night

Thanks Pinky! It's been decades since I used Avon's Skin So Soft bath oil, and I remember liking it very much. Interesting that it is a mosquito repellent, the coconut oil must have some relation....good to know, I'll take oily if it works.

Avon's Skin So Soft is a popular line with varying uses and fragrances. It is designed to soften the skin. Many have used the original scented body oil as a mosquito repellent, and now Avon has introduced a Skin So Soft bug spray line. The ingredients in the original Skin So Soft product are soothing and pleasantly scented.

Natural Ingredients

The original Skin So Soft has just a few ingredients, so the chances of allergic reaction are slim. The main ingredients listed are mineral oil, fragrance and carrot seed oil. This is the basis of the bath oil, with two oils as a base and the fragrance to impart a pleasant aroma.

If all else fails, try this....

For centuries, apple cider vinegar has been used as a natural remedy to treat many medical conditions, from infections to blood glucose problems.
If you have an itchy bite, dab a drop of vinegar on it. The vinegar can help reduce stinging and burning sensations. It can also act as a natural disinfectant if you’ve been scratching too much.
If you need more relief, try soaking a washcloth in cold water and vinegar, and then applying it to the bite. If you have many bites, dilute 2 cups of vinegar in a tepid bath and soak for 20 minutes. Beware, a hot bath may make itching worse.
If skin irritation occurs, stop this treatment.

Has anyone tried to have a bath in Epson Salts solution.

I don't know how it would work on mosquito bites but it sure is relaxing. It seems to soften the skin.

I bathe my feet in it as well.

The main ingredient is magnesium sulfate.

Excerpt:
[h=1]Search Results[/h][h=2]Featured snippet from the web[/h]Epsom salt helps draw the moisture out of lesions caused by rashes, such as poison ivy, according to the doctors. And with bites or stings, Epsom salt reduces the swelling, which eases the itching sensation because the body's nerves fire less frequently, the doctors say.
 

Camper, we always have Epsom Salts on hand and will take baths now and then for relaxation and soothing muscles, I also throw some bubble bath in mine.
