Something bit me!

[harrisey]

I know, its Oct, very late for biting things!

But I was int he college library yesterday and wiped a flying thing off myface - 10 mins later had a huge itchy sore welt under my R eye that I can see allthe time in my peripheral vision and its doing me in!

What can I put on something so near (like less than a cm under) my eye. its about the size of a pea and ITCHY!!!!!!!!

Maybe try taking an antihistamine for the itching? Bathe it in bicarb?

get some Piriton- anti histamine

Try piriton to stop the itching. Cream prob not advisable so near your eye. Was it a mosquito? Still lots of them about here.

no antihisthamine in the house (i know, what kind of wife of a doctor am i!)

Will go look for some bicarb. Is baking soda the same?

dunno if it was a mossi. Not so many of them in Glasgow

If you used a cotton bud could you put tea tree or lavander on it?

nice idea! I have tea tree - does that help the itchyness?

Don't know - but even if it doesn't at least it won't get infected

anything t stop me rubing my eye till it goes red and sore!

put tea tree on with cotton bud

IT HURTS!

Oh bugger - I'm sorry - I put tea tree on my bites to prevent infection

I do apologise - Sorry

Would a bit of aqueous cream sooth it?

Sorry

How are you today?
