anti-ich cream?

[billygoat333]

yes, as the title suggests, I unfortunately am COVERED in insect bites. :( :( I itch like crazy. I have never actually used anything other than calamine lotion, which isnt really helping me. :( anyone have any good suggestions for store-bought or homemade remedies?

Aloe works fairly well, although if you want an anti-itch, then go for medicine like benadryl or some other antihistamine if it is that bad.

If the insect bites cause bumps to appear, an allergic reaction, then something like Benadryl will help (I find that Zyrtec is more effective for allergies, and since it is now an off the self/ "over the counter" drug like Benadryl it shouldn't be difficult to get at a store such as Target.). Also, for a cream, using something with Hydrocortizone in it will reduce iching, redness, and swelling.
