All about Insect Bites

Insect bites can itch, sting or swell. Most bites are harmless and get better on their own within a few days. Washing the area with soap and water helps remove germs, and a cold cloth can ease the itch.

Try not to scratch a bite, because scratching can break the skin and let germs in. Tell an adult if you notice a large rash, swelling in the face or difficulty breathing.
