20 Best Itch Relief For Bug Bites (2022 Updated)

I have been using StingEze for years and I absolutely love it! Mosquitoes love me and so even if I step outside for just a couple of minutes to check the grill or take the dog out, I come back in with a minimum of 4 bites and as many as 12-14 (as was the case late yesterday afternoon).

All I have to do is dab on some StingEze and rub it in really well and the itching stops and they just disappear (over a period of several minutes). I’ve even used it an hour after being bitten (the directions say within 15 minutes) and it still works (I may have to reapply once or twice).

I’ve never seen anything else like it! The only problem I’ve had the last several months is finding it in the store. Wal-Mart used to carry it in the camping supplies department but I haven’t been able to find it recently and I’m running low and getting a bit nervous.

Ever since I discovered it years ago, I can’t imagine going through the summer without it!.

My sister gave me one of these StingEze Pens some time ago and I got it out when I got some insect bites on me and I was susprized the next morning I didn’t even have a red spot where the bites were.

Usually they itch for days, so my husband wanted one too because he get bites and chiggers all the time. It really does take the itch away for the chiggers. When I went to the Walmart store I was susprized that they did not carry them in the store so I hope they will start carry them in the Richmond KY store so I don’t have to order them all the time.

Great Product.

Product works great as a topical anesthetic for multiple bug bites, stings, abrasions and mild burns. Works well when applied and relief from bites occurs almost immediately. Would definitely recommend.

I have four kids that LOVE camping. They especially love running around at night when it cools off and they can let out some steam. The only problem with that is the pesky mosquitoes. My kids seem to get bit more than me and they hate being itchy all night.

We have tried lotion and itch sticks and they have just not worked for my kids for longer than a few minutes. I have to say, this does wonders. I don’t have to be up all night with them complaining that they are itchy.

This is amazing. It works fast and also works for a long amount of time. I will be purchasing again on the future when I run out!.

We live in an area where mosquitoes are constantly around, my kids tend to get bit more often than I like, so when I received the After bite for kids I was thrilled. I told my kids that whenever they get a bit that was itchy just place a little of after on it.

They said the itchy went away quickly. It’s easy to apply. It’s a cream in a tube so application isn’t hard. My kids love it and the relief it brings. It doesn’t smell as awful as some of the itch relief products.

So that’s a win!.

This stuff is magic!! My daughter gets literally the worse mosquito bites iv ever seen! This still will make it go almost completely away without 24 hours and 100% gone within 48. Here in before I put cream on and after 1 time of putting it on.

By the time I put it on again it will be about gone this afternoon.

I got bitten by yellow jackets at couple of places. Before I received this product, I was already treating it with a dermatologist prescribed ointment for skin conditions which helped it quite a bit already.

After I received it I used it only a couple of times to alleviate the persistent itching. It seemed to have helped it. My bite after this got healed up and I did not need to use anything. As such, I cannot rate it very well.

I think if I used it exclusively, it might have worked well.

I found Cutter Bite MD Insect Bite Relief to be a great help, particularly, for the healing of tick bites. Ticks seem to like me and when I get bit it turns into a sore that hurts and itches for weeks.

It’s the same with chigger bites. Anyway, I tried many different things on the bites and nothing seemed to help very much. Then I found and tried Bite MD and got great results. The bites healed up within a week or two, instead of 4-6 weeks.

This stuff is great and I recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a good remedy for tick and chigger bites.

Similar to Cortizone 10 Easy Relief Applicator, but even more compact, so easy to carry in a pocket. Nicer to apply than a cream.

My husband gets the worst bites from bugs, especially from mosquitos and spiders. When he gets bitten, they turn bright red, and then get this sort of ring around them. They become extremely painful and itchy.

We’ve tried everything to relieve the itch from calamine lotion to home remedies like baking soda paste. Nothing has really come close to relieving the itch, so when i saw this product I had to get it – even just to test it out.

After Bite has been really great at relieving the itch of a bite right away. It is baking soda based, but it works a lot better, and faster than our homemade paste (maybe our baking soda is old :: shrug :: ).

I do like that it’s not a cocktail of chemicals, that we have to worry about our kids touching or getting on our hands and in our food. It’s nice that the warm weather has subsided a little, so there are far less mosquitos now, but I’m also relieved that we’ll be prepared come next summer.

I’ll have to look into buying the kids version as well, as my daughter has started reacting to her bug bites the same way as her dad.

For the last 4 months all I have been dealing with are bug bites when I spend any time outside. I mean if even it’s just a quick taking out the trash, I get a bug bite and notice immediately. I have tried everything over the counter and even some home remedies for these bites.

I decided to try After Bite to see if its any better and honestly it helps just a little to relieve the itch but the feeling comes back within a few minutes. This doesn’t work and none of the cortisone creams have helped with my problem this year.

The mosquitoes problem is a big deal, I’ve even had the water department come see if I have a leak somewhere thats attracting these mosquitoes to keep multiplying. After bite will not help if you have a fresh bug bite.

I recently went camping and our campsite was mosquito infested. I was so glad I brought After Bite with me so I could put it to the test. Usually mosquito bites don’t start itching until after they have released themselves which leaves nothing but a irritating need to constantly scratch.

Using After Bite on these bites, it significantly reduced the need to scratch and my kids completely agreed. I will definitely make sure this product at the top of my packing list whenever we go on vacation again!.

Had one of these for many years. It finally dried up. Nobody carried it locally. Ebay!

After bite is a great product to have for bug bites. I use mine mostly for mosquito bites. It does stop the itch a few seconds after applying it. If you have scratch open or any cuts near the bite it does burn for a few seconds.

It does have ammonia in it and is very heavily scented. That is why I gave ot three stars instead of four. This product is also good to have on camping trips and hiking trips since it is small and compact.

This stuff is the difference between being able to be outside and confined to the house if you have Type O blood. The mosquitoes seek us out. I have one in the house, one in the car and one in my purse.

I never leave home without it. The secret to success is to apply it as soon as you are bitten. The next day is too late. When it first starts to itch and you first see the bite, apply it. Usually two applications will do it.

Not only am I Type O I am also allergic. When I’m bitten I will get a spot 6 inches around and bright red. No other product works. If your children tell you it burns you waited to long. If they scratched it for 2 days it won’t work and it will burn.

Be a responsible parent and carry it with you all summer long.

My EXPERIENCE with the unit. I bought the unit fully expecting I would be taking it back to the store. I am 58 years, and nothing before using the beurer has ever worked. For some reason, this year is the worst for me with insect bites, the itching ( I kid you not), lasts over a week.

The unit was part of a “daily deal” and I felt I had nothing to loose “trying it”’. Yesterday’s walk, I technically do not know, if I had an alergic reaction of something touching my skin, as i was walking in a field, or if it was insect bites.

My skin had started to itch (I didn’t scratch), I knew if ever there was a time to test the unit, it was at that moment. Maiden test run. The beirer insect bite healer, was still in the mailer packaging, I quickly opened everything up, installed the bateries.

I turned on the unit, After putting the unit on my itchy spot, i pressed the button on top. My unit stops heating up after 5 seconds, to which I removed unit from ichy spot (yes, I did feel a burn pain, but was bearable).

I used on every spot that itched. Interesting observation: it’s the next day, I do not see any red spots, or other discoloration where my itchy spots were. However, my last week itchy spots, are still healing, i visually see where they are, but cannot see where my itchy spots were from last nites walking in the field.

Not only did the unit work at removing the itch, it prevented the itchy area from getting the awful red spots. In closing, I am a real product user, I am the real purchaser of the unit and I am also going to “gift” another unit to my daughter (ordering after I complete this review).

If your unit doesn’t work for you, I would check to see if you put the batteries in backwards, or perhaps the unit became defected during shipment. I am happily surprised at the effectiveness, and highly thrilled that my unit worked better than I hoped.

I have no idea if I am being compensated for my review in the future. I am just passionate over how well my unit worked for me, a former doubting Thomas. Bonus thought. This unit will be saving me, not just from irritation , but money, as well… I no longer have the need for buying additional products to treat the itch, like buying antibiotic creams, anti itch creams, and concealers that help hide the redness that bites usually get.

So this little gadget is quite interesting. First of all, I love the packaging, it comes nicely packaged with everything you need, instructions, the bug healer and even batteries to start using right away.

The instructions are available in 3 languages which is good to know. Anyways I got a mosquito bite on my inner elbow part and it was a red itchy bump. My husband put the insect bite healer on it as I read the instructions.

Once it was turned on it felt very hot. It felt like a sting! The instructions say there are 2 levels 3sec and 6sec mode for sensitive skin and regular. I took off 1 star because I feel like it hurt a bit for the 3 sec I had it on my arm.

After my redness went down and the itch was better as well but I’m not so sure a kid will let you use this on them. I do think it works and it’s basically a hot compress on a way that goes straight to the sting/bite but it kind of hurts a bit.

I will try to use it again and even on my kids but will definitely warn them that is might be hot feeling to treat the bite. I think I didn’t expect it so it felt a bit weird to me.

Apparently, according to my mother, our family has mosquito attractant coursing through our family veins! Every time I am in a situation where mosquitos could be present, I inevitably end up with the most bites, which Is why I picked up this device.

So I picked up this bite healer because if it worked, I knew I would use it. A LOT! Especially now that we’ve moved out to the “country” I’m finding this to be a very convenient device. I love how compact it is.

I can take it with me pretty much anywhere I go. Whenever I am out working on my property I always have it with me in a pocket It’s no larger than the keyring my car keys are on. You get 2 separate treatment settings to deal with insect bites or stings, one that is 3 seconds long and one that is 6 seconds line.

It uses heat to break down the toxins and itch-inducing chemicals that are injected by various biting insects. While there is a short-term “burning” sensation, it doesn’t leave a mark, any more so than the original sting or bite, and it relieves the pain and itching associated with getting bit.

I like using this after being bitten by mosquitoes. I use to just use over the counter creams. When I use to use the creams I would feel itchy mintues and days later after being bitten. I feel like after using this little gadget just once I don’t feel itchy the following days like before with just creams.

I had really high hopes in regard to this device, since I remembered that the last time I had poison ivy, I was able to relieve the horrific itching by blowing hot air from a blow dryer on the rash. This device also uses heat, so I was convinced that it would most likely work on mosquito bites.

But it doesn’t work well at all. There was perhaps a SLIGHT bit of relief, but that’s it. It also takes just a little too long for it to get really hot, which is time consuming when you have 6 mosquito bites at once, and have to position it on each individual bite, and then move on to the next one! I made the rounds of my 6 bites three times in a row, and still didn’t notice much relief from the itching.

Oh well!.

It works well. The seller is an honest person. I ordered 2pK, but only 1pK was delivered. I contacted seller, and he replied as he would send another one, and he keep the promise. These two Therapik mosquito bite relievers works well.

If you have scabies and your staying up all night itching and when you wake up itching I suggest you also purchase “Tree Tea Oil” works really good. I brought it from Walmart. I just asked an employer for help.

It’s normally by the medicine for burns and etc. If you wait too long then scabies will spread and , they will hatch eggs in your skin. So, it’s very important to see a doctor. Take the m medicine he/she gives you.

But , buy more medicine online. Wash all your clothes. Don’t wear the same time twice. Wash clothes in HOT WATER only. Don’t use the same towel or face cloth twice in a row. REMEMBER that scabies is contagious.

Let close friends and family know. If you don’t treat scabies it will get worse. Immediately, take action or the itching will get worse. Do research on scabies too like how long they can live on your body and.

I love this product. It works great to clear up red marks on the skin that my dermatologist labeled as acne. In addition I’m so glad I found this website it saves me from spending lots of money on doctor appointments and creams that weren’t working.

I bought these roll on sticks for mosquito bites. And I am so glad I did!!! I am skeptical on what I use on my skin so I loved that these are natural products. Takes the itch away!

Absolutely would be lost without this little product in our household, a very effective way to treat bites and stings even in the most youngest or emotional patient. Definately a must for the first aid kit, especially for summer.

Cant go past Chemist Warehouse for pricing and if you live rural like I do, then their postage is extremely fast as well.

This product first became available when I was bee keeping, I always had this product for when bees got me in a sensitive spot; especially in finger nail quick.

I only use Stingoes on mozzy bits as it stops the itching straight away, Very hard to get except on my deal.

Got this for a bike trip. We used bug spray, but still got bitten badly by bugs- mosquitos, spiders, and who knows what. This was recommended by a friend after we were talking about how bites affect people differently.

I get big welts that last weeks from spider bites, and mosquito bites are almost as bad. Calamine lotion never seemed to do much as a kid, so I’ve just suffered thru the itching as an adult. This stuff is amazing! Takes the itch away, and possibly makes the bites go away faster, or heal faster.

I used this little tube multiple times each day and night and after a 2 week trip, there’s still plenty left. A little goes a long way. For bite relief it was amazing. Amazing. Trip changing. Amazing.

This after bite outdoor saved the day when my whole family accidentally disturbed a bee’s nest. I was stung twice, once in the upper arm and once on the neck. I was most concerned for my niece who was panicking.

She would up with 3 bee stings. We all used the after bite which offered enough instant relief to relax a bit. It took away the burning and itching. We were very pleased. The swelling wasn’t as bad as we thought it would be.

I hope we never experience this again but if we go, we will use after bite outdoor for sure.

I got a mosquito bite in my dang eyebrow. As soon as I noticed I was itching I grabbed this tube and applied a pea sized bit or less. It worked so fast! Usually mosquitos make me swell up terribly and then itch of course.

This never got puffy and stopped itching very quick. I do think the time from when you’re bit to when you use it matters. I got a bite on my thigh that didn’t seem to improve with this gel. I think I applied it a couple hours later.

I have sensitive skin and a mild allergic reaction to bug bites. What other people put up with for a day or so and then it’s all over will send me into a scratching fit for over a week. I have even awakened myself in my sleep scratching.

Other bug bite remedies work for a while but I need to keep switching them up, And after a while they just seem to quit working. I love the Badger Balm. It is easy to apply and IT WORKS FOR ME. Okay, so I have to reapply it, but that is also the case for all the other products I have tried.

This stuff is my new go to it h remedy!!.

I attract so many mosquitoes. Within minutes, i’m covered in bumps. I usedto to carry a tube of hydrocortisone cream with me, but decided to try Badger’s After Bug Bite stick instead. It really does ease the itching, in just a few minutes.

I also use it on a small patch of eczema on my hand- it has significantly more colloidal oatmeal than the other name brand eczema cream I’ve used. The eczema hasn’t gone away, but it does itch me less throughout the day.

I love that the cream comes in an easy to use tube, small enough to take along everywhere! Definitely will buy again.

I actually decided to try this for some super itchy, dry patches of skin I have – not bug bites. I tend to scratch them till they hurt and it makes me crazy! I have tried many things including hydrocortisone.

Hydrocortisone works, but it doesn’t moisturize very well if at all. I bought this thinking maybe it would help. It does indeed help a lot. I like it more than hydrocortisone for the itch because it moisturizes too.

It has a really nice cooling sensation that I also really like. It gives you that,”ahhhh” feeling and soothes the itch. I will be buying more of this!.

This is my trusty tool and I bring it out every summer. I have had it for at least three seasons and it’s still working on the original batteries. Yes it gets hot, so I don’t think kids would be able to handle it.

But on adults it’s amazing. It takes the itching away from bites and drastically decreases healing time because I’m not itching it. I used to just have to use a hair dryer, which was uncomfy and heated other skin, but this zaps just the bite area.

Sometimes people see it and think it’s a personal massager 😳 but otherwise a great device.

So far all I’ve used is the cream to eliminate the itching, and it works great. I have not yet used the other two items. I have a really bad problem with these Oak Tree Mites getting to me. I can’t see them or feel them, but I sure get their itchy welts.

They have made my life miserable the past couple of years. This cream definitely eases the itching, and I heavily scratch the itching wets. Very impressed with the product.

I’m full time caregiver to my elderly mother, she will be 100 in March. She has had an out break of mites previously, and has had another for about a month. Due to covid, all dr. visits are video-they kept prescribing various ointments and nothing worked, so on a whim I purchased this product.

Within 24 hours the rash was clearing up and no itching. She was elated, so the product works-AMAZING- She did mention a slight tingling sensation upon application, but that it didn’t last long. I would recommend this product and I would purchase again.

My husband had a chronic rash problem on his chest for years that dermatologists were not able to cure. A couple years ago we discovered this product and started applying it regularly several times a week to his rash.

It completely cleared up and has not returned. We highly recommend it to friends and family.

Chuck was awesome! He was very patient with us as we selected the items we needed.

I purchased this primarily for the grandkids and it works so well, I purchased another one for my first aid kit.

Works fast to stop the itching and stinging from insect bite.

I believe I got my first introduction to chiggers while walking through some tall grass during a vacation in Missouri. I had about 30 bites around my ankle and it felt like it was on fire! I was considering amputation until my wife produced this little tin of bite balm she keeps in her purse.

The itch burning sensation was relieved immediately and lasted even after taking another shower. It saved me for a minute very uncomfortable plane ride home. I highly recommend this product. The small tin is very portable and there is enough for many applications.

Awesome.

I love this product! My reaction to bug bites, especially mosquitoes and gnats result in large welts and swelling for days along with itching. As soon as I realized I had been bitten I used the balm and the results were amazing.

Plus the normal itching didn’t occur.

Balm has a nice scent and is pretty effective at soothing the itch! The little tin is cute and portable, but the cap doesn’t always seat well – wish it screwed on for better security.

I was stung by a bumble bee while gardening. I immediately washed the sting site, applied ice and took an antihistamine. My hand proceeded to swell considerably, and got quite hot and itchy. I applied a popular antihistamine cream and continued taking antihistamine tablets daily but really didn’t get any relief.

Then, I found this cream. The packaging leaves a lot to be desired – nothing about it says “buy me!”, but when I read “10% benzocaine” and saw the $2. 97 price, I had to try it. I am SO GLAD that I did! First, it’s the consistency of a hand lotion.

It absorbs completely and leaves no greasy residue. Second, it smells of clove, which I find quite pleasant, and the odor fades within a few minutes. Third, and most importantly, IT GAVE ME COMPLETE AND UTTER RELIEF! Within moments of application, my insane itching was gone.

It does not make you lose sensation in the area of the application. It just apparently calms the nerves? I don’t really care how it works, I’m just so thankful that it does. I will always keep this on hand from here on out to treat insect/spider/bee stings and bites.

Finally got here I was suffering all day waiting on this stuff. I had a chigger bite right at the top of my shoe and when I walked it would scratch it a bit, and you know what happens when you scratch a chigger bite.

This stuff is awesome it quites the bite right down. Never will my house not have a jar of this handy again.

I use this religiously in the summer for mosquito bites. I live in the woods in Vermont and even though my blood is probably half DEET by now, I still get bites where I miss applying bug spray or it wears off or they’re just being especially nasty.

Chiggerex doesn’t get rid of the itching completely, but it does offer some immediate itch relief, enough to get by until you get distracted from your bites. It’s white cream that blends in pretty well with my ghostly complexion, but for anyone with pigment it will be noticeable somewhat.

It smells sorta medicinal, minty-generic-lotion-like, nothing outrageous (just thought I’d mention, since I’m sensitive to smells). It’s not perfect, but it’s the best I’ve been able to find, and I’ve tried lots, including prescription, and always come back to this cheap stuff I only can find at Walmart, so thank you.

If you’re like me and mosquitos attack you at all times of the year… and cause you to WELT UP… THIS IS THE GOLD!! I literally carry this in my clutch with me while going out at night, patio dinners, bbqs, walks with dogs, you name it! Nothing has helped prevent the itch AND help prevent the swelling! 10/10b.

I live in the rural area of town and have all kinds of insect. But, the worst bites are those zebralike mosquitoes. O my goodness, when they bite it stays around for a couple of days, but wit After Bite, it ease the itch fast.

This is my first with a review of “After Bite” and it is pretty good. When first used it will sting but it get the job done.

Stop the itch, stop the scratch with After Bite. Bugs and I don’t get along. My mortal enemy being those pesky mosquitoes. With After Bite, it takes the itch away and with Spring and Summer once again upon us, this product is in my medicine cabinet.

Being highly allergic to mosquito bites, this gives me great relief from the must need to scratch, making my irritation tolerable. Having this on me, I am able to have a peace of mine to go out and enjoy the weather and not worry about being miserable with itchy bug bites.
