No matter how well you apply insect repellent, odds are that during the warm summer months, you'll get an insect bite. An insect bite that itches, is red, and may be swollen. In this episode of DermTV, Dr. Schultz explains how to treat itchy and swollen insect bites.

thanks for the tips doc! but how about once the bite is gone? i have a million dark spots from previous bites and am very self conscious about them and cant seem to get rid of them..what can i do to make them go away or at least fade them?

when I get bitten by mosquitos I just wash the bite with soap and water. it seems to make the bumps go away faster.

ive had a tiny (about a dime sized) red patch on my leg for about three weeks now. it itches like crazy. it looks like a ringworm, but do ringworms drain? tinactin doesnt seem to be doing its job... do i have impetigo or something else? if it is a bug bite, shouldnt it be long gone by now?

I tried tu put an ice cube during 15 minutes and it stopped itching forever! ThANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I get one or two bites per night :( my mother says I hace "Sweet blood" hehehe.

Dr. why is it that when my friend gets bitten by mosquitoes she keeps having to take trips to the bathroom? It only gradually reduces after clartin has had time to work. It bothers her a lot. Thanks.
