This will tell you how to treat a mosquito bite and prevent it from leaving a scar

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Johnson's Baby Cream
  1. Step 1

    As soon as you notice that your baby has been bitten by a mozzie (i.e. you might see a red patch of skin on your baby, or you would know what signs your baby exhibits)

  2. Step 2

    Rub Johnson's baby cream on the affected area

  3. Step 3

    To avoid the baby getting bitten in the first place apply a baby friendly mosquito repellant on the baby. Johnson and Johnson also have a mosquito repellant available

Tips & Warnings
  • You need to apply the cream as soon as possible after the mosquito bites the baby in order to prevent any scarring or further lumps forming as a result of the bite
  • This works on my baby I live in a tropical climate so I am not sure how this would work in other areas of the world
