The swelling of a mosquito bites is caused by the saliva the mosquito releases when it sucks blood from the skin. It surely doesn’t sound appealing, and neither is the itchy feeling that follows — mosquito bites can be very irritating! They usually form a swelling around the area, and this swelling is sometimes accompanied with redness. Scratching the area certainly will not help, and will only lead to further irritation or potential bleeding. Instead, try some of these excellent techniques to reduce swelling and redness.
Here are some of the best natural home remedies for those pesky mosquito bites that are nearly impossible to avoid on hot summer nights:
-
Cold tea bag. Apply a refrigerated tea bag on the area to help soothe the itch.
-
Use honey. Honey is a natural antiseptic agent, so it prevents the infection of the area.
-
Use aloe vera. Like honey, this is a natural antiseptic agent. Cut the meaty portion of the leaf and take out the juicy parts. You can also store this in the fridge before putting it on the mosquito bite. The cold effect will soothe the area further.
-
Use alcohol. Alcohol might sting a little bit, but it will kill any form of bacteria that might infect the bite zone.
-
Witch hazel or tea tree oil. Both are good antiseptics which are usually used for bacteria-infected wounds (like acne). This will work well with reducing the bump.
-
Mint or basil leaves. These leaves have cooling properties, so it will relieve the itching.
-
Put scotch tape on. It may sound weird, but putting scotch tape on the area will help prevent you from scratching, which could lead to infection and even scarring.
Make sure that you thoroughly clean the area with high quality organic soap (or honey as mentioned) before you apply anything to it. The remedies abovementioned will help in soothing the area and prevent infection, and honey can even speed the healing process of wounds. After a day or two, the bitten area will naturally go back to its normal state.
