As summer approaches and temperatures rise, many people—especially those in rural areas and resorts—report increased discomfort from mosquito bites, which cause itching, redness, swelling, and may sometimes lead to irritating skin infections.

In this context, dermatologists warn against neglecting treatment of bites, particularly in children and individuals with sensitive skin. They emphasize the importance of natural and preventive remedies to reduce discomfort and avoid complications.
Here are some of the most effective home treatments:
Ice: Applying an ice cube wrapped in a cloth to the bite helps reduce swelling and itching within minutes.
Aloe Vera Gel: Known for its anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties, aloe vera helps calm redness and speeds up healing.
Apple Cider Vinegar: With its antibacterial qualities, apple cider vinegar can be applied topically to disinfect the bite area and relieve itching.
Baking Soda: Mixing it with a bit of water and applying it to the bite helps reduce irritation due to its alkaline nature.
Tea Tree Oil or Lavender Oil: Both oils have antiseptic and anti-itch properties and can be applied in small amounts directly to the skin.
Recent public health data highlights the importance of using insect repellents when spending time outdoors and wearing long clothing—especially in the evening, when mosquitoes are most active.
Authorities also stress the need to consult a doctor if unusual symptoms like fever or excessive swelling occur, as these may indicate an allergic reaction or infection that requires medical attention.
