Another option is aluminium antiperspirant which is a lot weaker than the aluminium in Stingose but might help somewhat.
Also if you canât resist scratching, try instead lightly slapping the bites or around them (old advice for tattoos). It creates a distracting sensation without the damaging friction on compromised skin.

I used a very very hot compress to denature the toxin and relieve the itching, itâs feeling a lot better
