How do you get rid of bug bites?
Once you already have the bite, you just have to wait it out. Don't scratch or it will get worse. Try calamine lotion for itching.

An antihistamine taken by mouth, such as Benadry, may help with relief. Also try Hydrocortisone 1%cream or calamine lotion. ChaCha

About Bug Bites
Bug bites are a nuisance and happen quite often. There are different bugs that can cause your common everyday bug bites like spiders, bees, ants, mosquitoes and many more. Most bug bites do not cause any illness and are not life threatening unless you have an allergy. You should seek medical attention if you notice wheezing, shortness of breath, chest pain or tightness, become weak or faint after a bug bite. Bug bites can also lead to an infection, which could need medical attention.
