Using your faucet or shower, run the hottest water you can tolerate directly on your mosquito bite(s) for as long as you can. A few seconds should be sufficient. Repeat as often as necessary.
Perhaps it is a combination of the hot water opening your pores and allowing for the release of some of the venom or just that the hot water numbs the area, but somehow this quick fix does the trick! I find that it often helps the problem just by itself, without the use of any other products, but you can use this remedy in combination with any other creams or remedies and see if the numbing effects last even longer!

Oh I totally agree. Works for ant bites, too. And the longer you can soak the better chance the itch won't return. Even if you have to continue after you get out of the shower with a washcloth soaked in hot water, or take a slow bath instead of a shower.
