No-see-um bites can be painful and itchy, but there are several ways to alleviate the discomfort and promote healing. Here are some of the fastest ways to heal no-see-um bites:

1. Wash the bite site with warm water and mild soap as soon as possible to reduce any irritation from the insect’s saliva and minimize the risk of infection.

2. Apply ice or a cold compress on top of the bite to relieve itching and numb the discomfort. You can repeat this several times a day for the first 2 days after you receive the bite.

3. Use over-the-counter products such as hydrocortisone cream, calamine lotion, or aloe to relieve itching and reduce any reaction.

4. Apply rubbing alcohol to the bites to disinfect the area and reduce the itching. Be careful not to use too much rubbing alcohol as it can further irritate the skin.

5. Use insect repellent containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus to your skin before going outdoors to prevent being bitten.

6. Try a baking soda paste by mixing baking soda with water to make a paste and rubbing it onto the bite to lessen any discomfort.

7. Apply underarm deodorant, toothpaste, or vinegar to the bite to help ease the itch of no-see-um bites.

It is important to avoid scratching the bites to reduce the risk of infection. If you have a severe allergy or reaction to no-see-um bites, seek medical attention as soon as possible.
