What to do for insect bites?

To treat insect bites, you can try applying a cream with cortisone and taking some Benadryl. It is also recommended to use a fragrance-free moisturizer to help the skin heal. Additionally, avoid rubbing your skin dry after a shower and gently pat it instead. Prevention is key if you are certain the bites are from mosquitoes or black flies, but if you are unsure of the cause, it is best to consult a doctor for proper treatment.
