Vitamin B12 supports the healthy red cells and helps the operation of the nerve cells. Combined with the other vitamins from the same category ( B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 ) helps the healing of the open wounds and implicit the healing of the bug bites.

No. B12 is not shown to help with bug bites. After a bite, topical treatments work best. An antihistamine may also be helpful.

It would not be a god treatment for bug bites. It has no anti histamine or anti inflammatory properties. I is generally not thought of as a effective pain killer.
