After mite bites, various ointments can be used to relieve symptoms. Glucocorticoid ointments, such as mometasone furoate cream and compound dexamethasone acetate cream, have strong anti-inflammatory effects and can reduce local inflammation and swelling. Antipruritic ointments, such as menthol thymol liniment and calamine lotion, can effectively relieve itching and prevent skin damage caused by excessive scratching. In addition, acaricidal ointments such as sulfur ointment and benzyl benzoate emulsion can kill mites and prevent further bites. If the condition is severe or accompanied by infection, antibiotic ointments such as erythromycin ointment and mupirocin ointment may be used under a doctor's guidance. When using ointments, it is important to follow medical advice or instructions to avoid excessive or improper use. Keeping the skin clean and regularly eliminating mites can also help prevent mite bites.
