I have a very important function tomorrow night and I have A lot of mosquito bites over my legs.
I have planned to wear a short dress, so is there anything that can get rid of the redness of the mosquito bites or get rid of them quickly?

Any answers would be greatly apreciated! :)

Until someone comes along who is a skin care expert, I did find information on the following link that might be of benefit to you. Mosquito Bite Treatment, Mosquito Bites, Insect Bites


Mosquito Bite Treatment
In order to get relief from the mosquito bite symptoms, a mosquito bite treatment is required. A mosquito bite treatment involves washing the affected areas with soap and water to ensure no infections develop and to help reduce the itch. Applying soap directly to the bite has been suggested as an itch remover. Use a cold compress on the bite site to help alleviate the itch, swelling, and redness. A mosquito bite treatment may also involve some of the procedures listed below.

• Making a paste of baking soda and water and spreading it over the bites.
• Using calamine lotion or a topical anesthetic to help relieve the itch and pain.
• Itching can also be relieved by using a one percent hydrocortisone cream.
• Anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen will help with the swelling and pain.
• The use of antihistamines is also a useful mosquito bite treatment because they will alleviate the itch and swelling.
• Aloe vera gel is an effective all natural mosquito bite treatment. This compound reduces swelling and itching and soothes the affected area.
• A mosquito bite treatment is also available in the form of commercial products specifically designed for this purpose.

Not scratching the mosquito bite area is an effective mosquito bite treatment. Scratching prolongs the swelling, itch, and discomfort, and can open the skin and cause an infection. If your mosquito bite becomes red and swollen and if the area around the bite feels warm to the touch, the bite may be infected. If this condition persists and does not respond to a standard mosquito bite treatment, then consult a physician.

There are also some remedies on the following site that you might want to consider.

Mosquito bites, natural alternative for Mosquito bites, herbal remedy for Mosquito bites

Clean the bites with alcohol and spray perfume on them. This works pretty well. If that doesn't work you can use make-up to cover up the redness. Also try finding "off" insect repellent spray at a store and spray it on your legs to keep the mosquitos away.

It weirds me out ha. I didn't realize you could until I saw one of my friends do it.. and then I had one on my hand today and popped it! It was gross.
So hopefully someone can answer this for me

Hi, emilyjade!

It would be best if you did post a separate thread about what you're wanting to know. This thread is now archived, so the only people who are going to see it are those who've responded to it in the past and those who just might happen to go to this forum topic area. Anything new is not going to show up on the daily list of new posts on the main pages of this site.

Thanks!

The preventative to NOT get mosquito bites is have enough vitamin B and C. It repels mosquitos.
Also garlic and citrus repels them
