I think I have chigger bites?
I think I have chigger bites. The itchying is very intense. They are all over my legs, underwear line, and my hands. My knees, and hands are swollen. My lower lip is also swollen. I can't go to urgent care until tonight when they open. What can I do to relieve the itching until I can go to the Dr?

Ashley,
This may not help you since you can only buy it online but I have friends who swear by dabbing Kleen-Free on their chigger bites. They say that it soothes the itching and also kills the chiggers.
It does sound like chigger bites that you have. You will want towash all of your clothes and bedding on high temperature and dry on high as well and our friends use about 4 ounces of Kleen-Free in the laundry during chigger season
Good luck. I am sure the doctor will give you something but you may also want to get some Kleen-Free to use as well since it is chemical free and completely safe to use.

Don't take a hot shower or bath, my sister did that last year and it made them worse. My brother poured gas on them and that made them go away otherwise I heard the alcohol kills them. Good luck.

I have heard that soda water--a bath in some soda water--will help itching. Never tried it though. Benedryl cream might help. Call a pharmacist at any drug store--he might help you.
