Mosquito bites are common but what irritates the most is the pesky spots and bumps on skin after the stings.
There are many repellents available in the market but still, we do end up getting fly bites invariably. The irresistible urge to itch makes the spots deeper.
If you are also having those spots then fret not as we have compiled some of the best ways to get rid of mosquito bite scars:
- Vitamin E
Vitamin has great properties that help to heal skin. Take a Vitamin E capsule poke it and remove the gel and mix with olive oil or you can directly buy and use vitamin E oil. Make sure you apply the oil to the marks twice or thrice a day. This is one the easiest and effective way to heal those spots and redness.
- Foods like tomato, lemon and papaya can come to rescue.
Take a slick tomato or lemon, or papaya and rub onto the bite marks twice a day. These foods have skin lightening power and aid to disappear scars. Let the juices get absorbed into the skin for around 10 minutes and later rinse it off.
