Then, you want to apply ice to the bite, ideally for about 10 minutes or so, Pritt explained. Ice can drastically reduce the itching along with inflammation, pain and swelling, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Next up: Cover the bite with an anti-itch or antihistamine cream, such as calamine lotion or hydrocortisone. These products can drastically reduce itchiness and, most importantly, prevent you from scratching the bite and break the scratch-itch cycle, Pritt said.

Need a Pick-Me-Up? Try Spraying Your Face With Hypochlorous Acid

Skincare has a way of taking the body's own biology, bottling it, and selling it back to us. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is the latest example. It's a weak acid that your white blood cells naturally produce to fight infection and kill bacteria. Now it's being spritzed across morning and nighttime routines as an all-around skin fix. But HOCl isn't new. Hospitals have been using synthetic versions for decades as a disinfectant. In fact, the lab-made form dates back to 1834 and was used in both World Wars. So while #SkinTok makes it sound like a cutting-edge discovery, dermatologists have known its potential for a long time.
