After being extremely careful since I get bitten by mosquitos a ton, I went out in the sun and got bitten by some fly thing 5 times and now have mosquito bite looking things all over my arms. 4 days to go, anyone know how to get rid of them quick? Or will I be covering them up with makeup

Re: Mosquito Bites
Ugh, that stinks! Try hydrocortisone cream, just a thin layer a couple of times a day. Also, don't scratch them because they take longer to heal! My friend is allergic to everything and she also uses baking soda, she mixes it with water until it's pastey and then puts that on them and the go away pretty quickly! Good luck!

Re: Mosquito Bites
From How to Get Rid of Stuff:
One of the most effective home remedies you can use is banana peel. This can help you immediately ease the pain and itch. Get the peelings of a banana and rub the inside part to the affected area for a few seconds up to a minute. Swelling and itching almost always immediately disappears. Put the banana in the fridge or make a banana milkshake so that the fruit will not go to waste.
aloe veraIf you have aloe vera in your garden, you can also use that as a natural remedy for your insect bites. Peel it open and apply directly on the areas. It instantly provides relief from itch and pain. This remedy is ideal if your insect bites start to cause a burning sensation, especially when you have scratched the insect bite and welts have already formed. (For other uses of aloe vera, see 12 wondrous benefits of aloe vera)
A mosquito bite usually itches for only a few minutes, so it helps if you do not scratch it. The more you scratch, the more pain and itch you feel. A quick remedy is to allow cool water to run over it or simply ignore it.
