Antihistamine cream is great too without the sleepiness.

Thank you Whiff. Ive just finished the Hydrocortisone cream and thrown it out so not sure which one it was, I’ll look for the 1% one next time. I have some antihistamine's so I’ll try one tonight.

Piriton should help . And should have an insect spray with you . Did you use 1% hydrocortisone cream?

Is anyone else being bitten ? Seems like every time I go out, or in the garden I have two or three small bites, always on my face around my temples and chin. they’re so itchy and take ages to go.
I’ve tried Anthisan,Hydrocortisone cream and Germaline, none seem that effective. They seem as if they’re calming down then start up again. DH never gets them. It’s been happening for years but is particularly bad at the mo.
