What can I put on fit bites?

Hello everyone!

Hope you are all well.

Despite my best efforts with a fly rug equivalent to a nuns chastity belt - Prince is still covered in bites. Hence I’m having to keep him in during the day.

What can I actually put on his bites to help heal/soothe them? Sudocrem?

Any thoughts greatly appreciated

Aloe Vera gel is soothing…

I use sudocream

You can get Summer Fly cream which is good for stopping bites and calming them. Be warned it is bright yellow and stains everything so wear gloves I'd you use it!

Wonder gel is pretty good for bites.

Nettex summer freedom works well to soothe as well as a repellent.

Vinegar is a great natural soother and mildly disinfectant too.

I use camomile lotion. It cools and sooths the bite, also flies don't enjoy the chalky consistency.

I use Witch Hazel, it takes the itch out of the bite and the lump soon goes down.
