The twins both seem to be having the same type of reaction to mosquito bites. They are swollen and almost look like a blister almost immediately. We are using Cortizone and they aren't scratching anymore but they look really painful. Any go to tricks to help?

+1 to cortisone cream and ice packs. If really bad, ibuprofen for swelling and discomfort

I've always had bad reactions to bites. A new remedy that gets itch relief surprisingly fast is rubbing alcohol. The itch creams don't help me much that's how bad it is for me. :/

ChiggerRX is a good anti itch cream.
I also do a baking soda paste. Mix baking soda with water to make a paste. Takes out some of the redness too.

Toothpaste has worked in the past for my little ones.

Handsantizer! Scented or unscented doesn't matter, but it works. Just a dot.
