Question: Does anyone have a good recommendation for how to get rid of red marks caused by mosquito bites? Or alternately, good ways to cover them up? I got eaten alive at ZimFest last Sunday, and now it's Thursday, and I still have spots on my back that I'd *really* like to get rid of before my photoshoot on Saturday morning. Agh.

So anyway, I got my hair cut yesterday, and HOLY CRAP MY HAIR IS GONE!!

Well, okay, so I exaggerate a bit. It's certainly not *bad*... in fact, it's actually pretty neat. It's just... wow. On the one side, it's really effin' short, or at least shorter than I've ever had it, anyway. I'll have to post pictures of it as soon as possible, if I can get the freaking self-timer on my camera to work.

I'm being lazy about the post, because I have lots to do, so... ::poof!::

Ooh, use the same stuff you'd use on zits, as long as it's not medicated. A green or yellow correcting powder or cream should do the trick. :D

yay new hair!! :D

An antihistimine might help, like cortozone etc. Part of the red swelling is a local immune reaction. Dunno whether this would work - check google for verification.

Yeah, antihistamines (oral or topical, of if you're feelin' mean, both) should reduce the problem. If that's not good enough, zit/blemish makeup should help.

If all else fails, Photoshop will make them go away. XD

Hydrocortizone seems to make my bites go away faster.

I don't know how it works on mosquito bites, but I used to use toothpaste overnight on my giant enormous pimples and it really cleared up the swelling and redness.
