I still do it to this day. It keeps the itch away longer than cortisone cream or Benadryl stick and it helps draw out the venom to help it heal faster. </p> <p>I have an old no name tube from the dollar store solely for this purpose. </p> <p>I've heard a baking soda paste can help as well but have never tried it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-put-on-bug-bites-to-help-with-the-itch#post-891659 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 20:22:08 +0000 Maysprout 891659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has some itchy bug bites and woke up last night scratching and upset. Anyone have any good remedies? </p>
