Benzocaine topical for Insect Bites Reviews

Chiggerex (benzocaine) "Excellent relief from chiggers. No side effects. Family ages 50-75. No more daily usage than 4 times for 1 week. Purchased in small quantity as not much is needed. Followed directions, especially hand washing after use."


Chiggerex (benzocaine) "I bought this and was hopeful it would work, I get mosquito bites that swell and itch so badly and stay "active" for several weeks. I immediately take benadryl (orally) but the itching can still be intense. The chiggerex cream was one of my last hopes, but it only brought temporary relief as I was rubbing it on. It has small grains in it which helps with the itching WHILE YOU ARE USING IT. When you stop rubbing the grainy liquidy cream in , the itching comes back. I would say it is a "5" along with the majority of mosquito itch ointments on the market today."


Chiggerex (benzocaine) "Great stuff. I use it all the time for fire ant and mosquito bites. Rub it in really good and hard, like scratching the itch. Quick relief and lasts all nite. (Or all day). Walmart has some gooey stuff supposed to be the same, band it works, but the original chiggerex "mousse" is way better to apply and not messy at all. The Walmart imitation is runny and sticky, etc."
