What do you do when you have a bunch of mosquito bites on your leg?
Well you can go to the store and buy creams to rub on them. Or if you'd rather not then just find something else to do to occupy your time. Sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the night because the bites itch so bad. So I scratch them and scratch them and that doesn't do any good. So you shouldn't scratch no matter what. It seems like a good idea but it doesn't help the itching. It only worsens it and makes it even harder to ignore for a lot longer period of time. Even if you just want to rip your leg off because the itching bothers you so much in the night. Don't just try to ignore it and think about something else for a little while. It will soon go away. If you have to touch it then rub gently but leaving it alone is best. You could also try putting mittens or socks on your hands so you can't scratch. It will pay off in the long run.

An itch is a very slight form of pain from your nerves. There is usually something touching you and your body feels threatened by the contact, and so you itch to remove it from your skin. In bites and stings it's because the nerves are stimulated by the poison/acid/alkali released into the bite. Sometimes you may feel a 'Phantom' or travelling itch, when you can't quite tell where you need to itch. This is caused by random stimulation of the nerve, the cause of which is unknown
