I was just about to say that I think there is... Calamine, I think...
---

You just not feel itchy anymore. It's kind of like depression and anxiety. You just will them away.

Bathtub full of cornstarch if you're desperate.
---

I scratch until I bleed. That takes care of it.
---

Not getting bitten by mosquitos will do the trick

get bit by fleas, and the itching will make you forget about the mosquito bites.
---

Apparently peroxide

There are multiple lotions.

Personally, I just scratch the itch until it's raw, then put one of these on it:

Not if you're allergic to mosquito bites.

If you are, you'll itch like crazy and the bites will swell up to the size of a quarter (or larger).

Benadryl Cream works wonders for me (I get bit like crazy).
---

Run a spoon under hot water then place the spoon on the bite. Works for me
---

Is TC the guy that used to whine when we made fun of his polls?
---

get bitten a bunch of times in the same night, become immune to the itching from any future bites.
---

Warm spoon. Speeds up the process and breaks down the enzymes

I tried using Google to find a GIF of someone rubbing small boobs, but it was all porn. -_-

Hydrocortisone

Sometimes you can suck out the stuff that causes the itching.

Lanacane usually works pretty well. It contains benzocaine, which is a topical anesthetic. There's also a product called BiteMD, which contains benzocaine and phenol, which is an antiseptic and anesthetic.

Vinegar? Or was that a remedy for something else? I forgot...

Burn em with a lighter.

Personally, I let my fingernails grow for a few days, and then I scratch the mosquito bites vigorously until they burst open a little bit. Just kinda shaving down a few layers of skin until they get juicy. It's never from blood though, it's just juicy from pus and a clear watery substance that was saturating the mosquito bite. Then after a few hours, the little clear scabbie hardens. And then I rip it off with such delight. This sometimes gets the wound to actually bleed now. Which makes a legit blood scab. Which I also then rip off, with much delight. This creates another scab. And another scab. Each mosquito bite can usually get me anywhere from 5-10 decent deep scabs to dig up. Eventually the skin gets so pink/purple that it will no longer scab. And then, after a few months....the "scarred" area fades away into the rest of my skin around it. And you can't even see it.

It was a fun ride. Thank you, Mrs. Mosquito.

(note how I said "Mrs." because only female mosquitoes bite. How typical, eh bros!? **holds hand up for a high five he will never actually receive**)

There you go bro:)
---

The obvious solution here is to swallow them whole and not bite into them at all.
---

cortizone-10 cooling gel with the aloe.
calamine lotions works if you wanna rock some pink blotches for a couple hours.
@DeltaBladeX you should have looked for GIFs from How Not to Summon a Demonlord for rubbing small boobs.

Calamine on the outside, benadryl on the inside.

I heard only PREGNANT female mosquitoes bite. So is it bitch-slapping if we kill a female mosquito?
Does this mean the ones that only buzz are the fellas distracting us so their lady mosquitoes can eat?
Such loyalty in mosquitoes, good Arceus almighty.

Antihistamine lotions
---

It will only be temporary, but you can use a little Listerine. Don't overdo it though, or the alcohol will dry your skin out pretty badly.

It was originally intended to be used as a surgery antiseptic before dental uses.

Mind over matter.
---

As someone who cannot stand the feeling itchiness, I've got nothing. I feel like my legs are constantly raw.
---

Since mosquitoes are discount vampire bats, they should be repealed with discount garlic.

Now begs the question, what is discount garlic?

The itchiness is a histamine reaction, which needs to be dealt with from the inside. Get some allergy medicine.

Shallots.

Put toothpaste on it.
