Calamine lotion, over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream and even a cold compress can ease the itch.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s going to soothe and kind of calm down that intense burning and inflammation that they&#8217;re feeling in their skin.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And, while it&#8217;s not always easy, it&#8217;s important to keep the itching to a minimum.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If they itch it hard enough, or depending on what they use to itch their skin, they can cause a break in their skin. They can develop a bacterial infection.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although using insect repellent and other prevention tips can reduce your chances of being bit, really, getting at least one skeeter bite this summer is almost inevitable.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Time takes care of it, and try to do your best not to itch it if you can.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For the Mayo Clinic News Network, I&#8217;m Jason Howland.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mosquito bites are a common summer nuisance.
