What Is The Remedy For The Itchy Welts On The Body Due To Mosquito Bite?

I m traveling in Colombia (mostly cities and small towns--not the coast or jungle--so no worries re: malaria) at the moment and have gotten quite a few mosquito bites--I haven t even noticed them biting. Anyway, the bites are super itchy and are starting to look like welts. They re definitely inflamed. I got a creme today that has neosporin in it, but it s not helping much. I m also taking benadryl. What else can I do?

Hi
I have gone through your complaints and would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
