“Repellents are the most proven effective in this matter.
Some of them are intended for application to the skin, others - for clothing.
Also, aroma oils still retain their relevance.
They can be diffused indoors with diffusers and applied to the skin.
For example, basil, tea tree or geranium oil.
They have a deterrent effect, mosquitoes do not like them, ”said the doctor.
If the insect still bites, it is worth treating the site of inflammation with an antiseptic, and with extensive inflammation, make a cold compress, Chudakov emphasized.
“If the reaction to the bite is pronounced, you can make a cold lotion with pieces of ice or just a cold compress.
This will help narrow the blood vessels, the inflammatory reaction will be less.
You can also make a lotion with a solution of soda, ”the expert said.
In addition, the specialist noted that if the reaction to an insect bite is atypical, the focus of inflammation is extensive, there are signs of allergies, it is necessary to take an antihistamine.
