Chigger Bite Relief: Treatment & Prevention Guide

* Wash the affected area with soap and water. This will help remove any chiggers that are still on the skin.

* Apply calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream to the affected area to relieve itching and inflammation.

* Take an oral antihistamine, such as Benadryl or Claritin, to help relieve itching.

* Avoid scratching the affected area, as this can worsen the itching and inflammation and lead to infection.

* If the itching is severe or the affected area becomes infected, see a doctor for treatment.
