Bites and stings usually go away by themselves in a matter of days, but they can be extremely itchy in the meantime, which you may want relief from. At UK Meds, we offer a number of products that will help to relieve the feeling until the mark has gone.It’s a wise idea to wear insect repellent throughout the summer months (and especially on holiday) to avoid the risk of being bitten or stung. Some people experience mild allergic reactions to bites and stings where the skin around the mark goes red and raises slightly. This is normally nothing to worry about but if you notice any severe symptoms then you should contact your nearest emergency department.
