Relief from the itchiness associated with skeeter syndrome can be obtained through the use of anti-itch creams. Look for creams with ingredients that will not only diminish the uncomfortable itching, but also help reduce swelling, which in turn can minimize pain. For a natural approach, creams containing oatmeal, chamomile, tea tree oil, and lavender oil have been found to be helpful in reducing itch. Whatever product is used, it's important to read and use the product according to the instructions. Reducing the itching is important because consistent scratching of the area can lead to skin punctures, which increases the risk of bacterial infection.
