I woke up this morning to a mosquito bite just above the crease on my eyelid. I can't use the ointment that I usually use because it says not to use on the eye area (I wouldn't even attempt it because it stinks to high heaven). What natural rememdies do you suggest safe for the eye area? FYI it hurts pretty bad too. :(
Have you tried using tea tree oil? I'm prone to bug bites in the summer and tea tree oil helps with the itching and stinging. Plus it helps it clear up sooner
Ahttp://www thank you Fancie and Sofia. That bite is still going strong on my lid and I had hubby go out and get me tea tree oil and honey. At least now I'll have a supply on hand for future bites. :)
