Vicks on Mosquito Bites

Wouter

Using Vicks on mosquito bites is an effective way to get relief from your itchy, red and inflamed skin. The menthol contained in Vicks helps to relieve itching and pain. However, it is important to follow the directions on the label to avoid negative side effects.

Vicks VapoRub is a topical ointment that has been used for many years to treat various health conditions. It was originally developed by Lumsford Richardson for use as a cough suppressant. It can be applied to clothing, to the skin, and as a mosquito repellent. It is also used to help clear sinuses and ease a cough.

To apply Vicks on mosquito bites, you need to clean the infected area. You can use a cotton ball or a finger to spread the ointment over the infected area. The ointment should be rubbed until it is completely absorbed. You should also make sure that the area is completely dry before applying the ointment. If the ointment does not provide immediate relief, reapply the ointment until it does.

You can also purchase a topical corticosteroid to help reduce the itching and inflammation. You can also apply tea tree essential oil or lavender essential oil to the affected area. If your bites are still itchy and inflamed, consult a healthcare provider.

Another option is to apply a cold compress to the area. It will help to numb the area and reduce the swelling. The cool temperature will also help to relieve the irritation for a short time.
