But! All that scratching is fruitless, because the bite will inevitably still be itchy once you pull away, with the added uncomfortable bonus of being more irritated, too. Instead of taking matters into your own (literal) hands,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/drdrayzday\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/drdrayzday\/?hl=en\">Andrea Suarez, MD,<\/a> a board-certified dermatologist in Houston, recommends reaching for a pimple patch.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know you&#8217;ve heard of these pimple patches, but you&#8217;ve got to try them on a mosquito bite,&#8221; says Dr. Suarez in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CuPOzp6r12c\/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"sponsored\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CuPOzp6r12c\/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D\">a recent Instagram post<\/a>. &#8220;The hydrocolloid helps to absorb that inflammatory stuff that makes it very itchy and swell up, and it also serves as a barrier preventing you from scratching.
