"We have a lot of mosquitoes in our area. They are very attracted to me, and I develop quarter-sized bumps shortly after being bitten. I have found that if I apply hydrocortisone 1% cream to a mosquito bite as soon as possible, the swelling and itching will be relieved within minutes. It is important to apply the cream prior to scratching the bite. I highly recommend using this cream; it makes my life here tolerable."
