insect bites

[buttonnose82]

Does anyone react badly too them? I have always got loads of bites and I thought as the years went by the reaction was meant too get less? mine is getting worse I have 4 bites, the smallest swelling is 1.5 inches however one bite has swollen too 6 inches!!!

I have a dr's appointment this morning as I have been using Little Mans steroid cream on it but it's getting bigger and bigger

Anyone got any tips for a natural insect repellant?

citronella candles for the garden and skin so softly (Avon) dry oil spray is what i use...

this is the mark, it was raised red hot and hard, the dr said it was a mosquito from the river I live near..

My Sister does when her legs are bitten, it seems to be there more than anywhere else. She ends up on prescribed medication after, even though she has tried all the precautions under the sun.

Hope you manage to suss it
