In the summer, there is plenty to worry about when it comes to our skin. From keeping our tans from flaking and our faces being oil-free, bug bites soon rank number one on our summer skin troubles list! Especially those bug bites that cause itchy, red and irritated skin. They are just so hard to cover up! It’s no surprise that one of the biggest complaints of summer is swollen, itchy mosquito bites. Who wants red, puffy bumps on their body while wearing body-baring outfits and itsy-bitsy bikinis? While it may seem like a small issue in the realm of cosmetic dermatology, it is a big concern for many summer lovers. Itch no further! Cosmetic Dermatologist, Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank has the perfect solution to eliminate these pesky little marks covering your body:
Cortisone: A quick shot of cortisone will do the trick to reduce swelling, itching and heal the bite usually within 24 hours
Cortizone 10 Hydrocortisone Anti-Itch Cooling Relief Gel $7.25
Hydrocortisone: If you can’t get to the dermatologist’s office, try over the counter or prescription hydrocortisone

The Medlite Laser: Another common complaint regarding bug bites is also scarring or dark spots left behind after a week of itching and scratching.
