      I think the best method is not the scratch it, if not it will spread over to the other areas too…

      Best remedy is still calamine lotion… Don’t expect overnight result cos you have to apply it twice a day at least over a period of seven days… If not, you can get some chinese herbal lotion like snake grass lotion to apply…

      The more you scratch the worse it gets. Calamine is only relieve for the itch, the marks are going to stay for awhile. Laughing

      i heard that some of the sand fly’s bites contain their eggs and once they hatch their maggots will anchor into ur flesh, best is to see a doctor..

      Better see a doctor soon. My friend had sand fly bites from OBS many years ago and it took 3+ months to heal and it got so bad that he had to see a doctor for it. Better safe then sorry.

      No, it actually injects its eggs into your bloodstream where it reaches your liver and develops into larvae which eventually feeds off you gall bladder and eject itself out your body through your eyes. Laughing
