Don't Let the Bugs Bite!

Sadly, my son has been cursed with my very sensative skin. These pictures don't do it justice but his bug bites are out of control. He's been swollen, itching and so unhappy! Creams and Benadyl at night have saved us. The doc says there is nothing to do but tough it out. ( I do think he might have a nice 6 pack someday though!)

Bug bites do that to me too. Once a bite on my eye swelled up so much people asked if I got hit with a baseball.
Anyway, I was prescribed a benedryl-like cream that had some kind of steroid in it too. Not sure if it is ok for kids, but it definitely helped the swelling go down a little bit faster...
