Yep, my boys are getting eaten through their fly rugs poor things. I find covering the sheath area in sudocrem helps loads (slap it on thick!)
Normally piriton is a miracle cure, but hasn't helped my worst affected one with the bites this year. I use a tea tree based soothing product to put on the rest of the bites, and soak them in fly spray- think the companies that make them must be earning loads this year!

I'm using sudacrem on my boys bits, its been quite swollen and sore, seems to be doing the trick and takes the swelling down.
you can also get gold ointment form the sweet itch society which is great stuff you can mix sudacrem with that as well, I've ran out, so just using sudacrem untill new tub comes

We're having this problem with one of our boys too, hadn't thought of Piriton -how many are you giving & how often?

I'll dig the sudocrem out too

If its a fluidy swelling you may find that a detox supplement, like NAF D-tox will help.
