To scratch or not to scratch? Sometimes a scratch seems to relieve it, other times inflame. Then, if you're not supposed to scratch, why does it itch? And goes on for days sometimes? Anti histamine helps but not always handy.
Yes it doesn't do any good to scratch does it? It was some kind of huge mozzie bit through my sock which you never feel at the time, but I saw it. I didn't touch it for hours thinking it would go off but gave in and had a good go. Now it is weeping a bit. Mozzie bites can get really nasty of infected, so I'll try to leave it alone now!
Please dont scratch it Vee... If you look at the link below you'll see a couple of pictures of my arm from last year... The result of an inspect bite. Made me a little poorly :o(
Not sure Minty but it was really bad. massive dose of antibiotics sorted it out... I see you've been swinging from the chandeliers again ;o) Get better soon x
Don't scratch it !Get some Eurax cream which will deaden the itching so you won't need to scratch .
A few years ago two mozzie bites on my leg nearly caused me to end up in hospital with cellulitis.I had a leg like an elephants and it caused me a lot of problems and left my leg badly scarred.
