Great for bug bites

by gmlondon [Verified Buyer]

Pros: Easy To Use, Effective, Fast Relief

Best Uses: Insect bites

Primary use: Personal

It never fails when I get woken up by a bug bite itching me in the middle of the night. So I keep this by the bed. Rub it in, wait a few minutes, and relief (quickly followed by returning to sleep). I always have some on hand.

I would buy this again and again.

Pros: Convenient to carry, Easy To Use, Effective, Safe

Best Uses: Emergency Preparedness, Keep In The Medicine Cabinet, Outdoor Activities

Primary use: Personal

Bottom Line: recommended

This has long been my number 1 remedy for bug bites. I used to scratch myself until I bled. None of the other products ever seemed to work! I've been using Benedryl Cream for nearly 20 years. But it is an antihistamine, not a cortizone product. It would probably never be effective for eczema or other dermatological conditions.

Great for Bug Bite Allergies

Bottom Line: recommended

My only allergies are to bug bites. The worst are spider bites but I get large red welts from even the smallest of mosquito bites. The itching is enough to drive someone crazy and the swelling and itching gets much worse if I even lightly rub the area. The Benadryl cream and/or spray works great at temporarily relieving the itch while at the same time blocking the antihistamines that are causing me to swell up. Thanks to Drugstore.com for carrying these item! I can never find them in the stores and I don't know what I would do without them.

I tried this product on a small patch of eczema on the top of my hand. I didn't notice any relief from the itching. In fact, the product dried my skin out and made the itching worse.

Excellent cream. I recently battled something that was causing my hands to itch at night to the point where I had scratch marks, and the itching was waking me up every few hours. I felt like clawing my hands off. I have a prescription 2.5 % Hydrocortisone cream that I literally slathered on, and it stopped the itching for only 10-15 minutes, so I knew that hydrocortisone wasn't going to cut it. This worked! I put it on before bed, and I was able to sleep through the night. After 4 days of using this cream, whatever I was battling seems to have passed. I don't think it's a cure, but it definitely stopped my terrible itching and I gained sleep because of this wonderful stuff. I highly recommend it.
