Treatment for Bug Bites and Rashes There a few solutions here is one of them. You’ll need an ice cube, some cold cucumber peels and a touch of honey. ◾Let’s say you have a bug bite or small rash on your arm. First wash and put an ice cube to reduce heat and swelling. ◾Then peel off a small part of cucumber skin and place on top of the bite, press gently. Cucumbers are so versatile because other than being a healthy veggie that you eat, they contain nutrients like ascorbic and caffeic acid, which help swelling, inflammation and drain excess fluids in your bite. ◾ Lastly, dab a bit of honey on top of the bite. Honey is nature’s antibiotic to help prevent infections. But remember to stay indoors with this remedy or else the honey can attract more bugs! ◾ Whatever you do, don’t scratch or pick at your bite or rash as that can lead to open wounds and bacteria getting in. If the itching, swelling, or the rash doesn’t go away in a couple of days, visit your doctor as it could be something more than a bug bite or mild allergy.
