    Did not relieve itching but instead made the bites swollen. I only put the product on about half of my bites and when I woke up the ones with the treatment were worse looking then when I started and the ones without treatment were normal looking. On the second day the ones without treatment stopped itching and the ones with treatment are still large, red and itchy. Very Unsatisfied.

    Being allergic to mosquito bites, I have been plagued with itchiness until discovering Benadryl itch relief stick.

The Benadryl readymist may have the same ingredients, but does not satisfy.

    The guy above had the same problem as me. I put it on and the itching went away for a few hours but I would wake up the bite I put the medicine on was SEVERELY swollen. I do not know if it was an allergic reaction or not, but it was alarming to find my bites worse than what they were when I went to sleep.
