Itching on the soles of the feet caused by mosquito bites can be relieved using the following methods:
1. Apply mentholated oil (e.g., Feng You Jing), which effectively relieves itching and reduces swelling.
2. Use fresh aloe vera gel: cut a small piece of aloe vera leaf, wash it thoroughly, and apply the gel directly to the bite site—relief is typically rapid.
3. Crush a vitamin C tablet into powder, mix it with a small amount of water to form a paste, and apply it to the bite area; itching usually subsides within a short time.
Avoid scratching mosquito bites to prevent secondary infection.
