Bug Bites are usually a small issue, danger-wise but the trouble and the irritation they cause due to the itches is unbearable. Resisting the urge to scratch the itch is next to an impossible task. 

When you scratch the bumps caused by a bug bite, there is every chance that you may rupture the skin and break it open further complicating issues by making them susceptible to infections. So, how should you deal with them without suppressing your urges to quench the irritation?

Instead of scratching try tapping around the itch with gentle pressure repeatedly for a few seconds. The temporary relief is extreme pleasure.

Run the itch under hot water, as hot as you can take, and the relief of the numbed senses will last for a couple of hours. 

You can also scratch around the bump in circles but very gently to ease the itches.
