AfterBite Itch Relief

A mosquito bite on a summer evening, a run-in with fire ants, a brush against stinging nettle — AfterBite is the pocket-sized answer for the moment the itching starts. This collection carries fast-acting topical relief formulated to calm the sting, burn, and itch that follow insect bites and minor skin irritations, so you can stop scratching before it turns into a raw, broken welt.

The AfterBite Itch Relief Cream (0.5 oz) uses 5% sodium bicarbonate to neutralize the irritation left behind by mosquitoes, black flies, gnats, bees, wasps, and other biting or stinging insects. The tube format makes it easy to apply a targeted dab exactly where you need it, without the drips of a liquid applicator, and the compact size slips into a first aid kit, glovebox, backpack, or diaper bag.

Buyers most often ask how AfterBite works and whether it's safe for kids. The sodium bicarbonate base works by counteracting the acidic irritants insects inject when they bite — a different mechanism than the ammonia-based liquid version many people remember. It's intended for external use on intact skin; apply directly to the affected area as needed. As with any topical product, keep it away from eyes and read the label for use on children.

Keep a tube where the bites happen — camping totes, cabins, sports bags, and family medicine cabinets. For broader supply needs, browse our full First Aid selection to round out your kit.
