How do you treat an insect bite?

To treat an insect bite, you can apply ice wrapped in a wet towel for 10-15 minutes at a time to help with redness, swelling, and pain. You can also apply a fragrance-free moisturizing cream as needed to soothe the affected area. Avoid scratching or touching the bite to prevent further irritation. If needed, you can use an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream 1% a few times a day. Remember to consult a pharmacist or healthcare provider if you have any further questions or concerns.
