A TRICHOLOGIST has shared her quick hack that gets rid of the itchy feeling you get when bit by a mosquito. She admitted that she used to get eaten alive but no longer does thanks to the budget-friendly trick. Abbey Yung ( @abbeyyung ) is a fan of all things hair, skin and beauty.

She veered from her traditional content to offer some advice to diminish pesky and itchy mosquito bites. She shared in an Instagram Reel a skincare item she uses on her bites. Yung admitted in the caption that she had "got eaten alive" by mosquitos the weekend prior.

She woke up in the middle of the night "SO itchy" and wanted an easy solution. She said that "by some miracle" she remembered the wise words of board-certified dermatologist Dr. Andrea Suarez ( @drdrayzay ).

The expert mentioned using pimple patches to get rid of the itch and it stuck with her. Abbey said she ran to her bathroom and put about 20 pimple patches all over her body. The results spoke for themselves.

"Omg...

no more itch. In Dr. Dray we trust,' she wrote.

She also expressed her appreciation in the video with the on-screen text. "POC: Dr. Dray told you to put pimple patches on mosquito bites so now you never have to be miserable with itchy bug bites ever again," it read.

She specifically used the affordable Mighty Patch Hero Cosmetics Original Patch, which is less than $11 on Amazon. Many Instagram users were excited to try this remedy and some shared their results. *If you click on a link in this article, we may earn affilia.
