I'm covered in urticaria after a walk in the countryside, no idea what I came in contact with but I'm itchy too. Look and feel like I've been rolling in a nettle patch.Quote:

Q, what is urticaria?
Non-acetone nail polish remover, or clear nail polish. It will tingle a bit but it stops my mosquito bites from itching.Quote:

It'll burn.. .Quote:

How many bites do you have? I think I got one of those on my ankle once I had a scar for a while. I hated it. It was the worst.Quote:

Awwh Bell! And go see a GP. They can give you something to take care of all that crap. Not to mention, with all those bites you never know what those bugs are carrying. It can't hurt. That really sucks. Also, go out the store and BUY calamine lotion, and laoe, and vitamin E cream for your skin. It will help cool and soothe the bites.Quote:

I am heading to the drug store first thing in the A.M The worst thing about black fly's is they itch for days. Than they stop itching for a day or two, and than they itch again.
A really itch bumpy rash that looks just like nettle rash but can be an allergic reaction to anything.Quote:

Drugstore! And maybe a doctor just to see if any of them are unusual or dangerous. Better safe than sorry. At least it's not ticks.Quote:

Blek. I hate ticks. Minnesota is full of them, and mosquitos, and every other creature. I wonder if Hawaii has this many mosquitos? It's humid and damp.. .Quote:
