What Is The Treatment For Chiggers And Mosquito Bites?
I took my son to the park a couple of days ago around evening time. Now he has multiple bites on his leg (4) Not sure if chiggers or mosquitos. I have been treating with rubbing alcohol and anti-ich cream. Seems to be helping, but is treatment the same for chiggers and mosquitos? Not sure which bit him and he was sitting in the grass.
