What are some home remedies for bug bites and skin burns?

Answer by  jen37 (1135)

Aloe is amazing stuff, and is good for all kinds of skin problems, especially burns, but it is also good for bites and rashes, among other things. You can buy fresh aloe at places like Whole Foods, you will just need to halve it and use a spoon to scoop out the clear insides, or you can get it over-the-counter.

Vicks Vaporub to the rescue for both! The cream version (less messy), or the familiar jar will stop iching and will heal abraded skin. I know it smells, but that's the camphor which is the thing that provides the relief apparently. It works!

Oddly enough, one of the best treatments I've found for both of those is tea tree oil. Found at just about any pharmacy, not horribly expensive and a little goes a LONG way. Only downsides are it stings like mad when you first apply it and it smells positively awful.
