How does Medicare Insect Bite & Sting Gel works?
Medicare Insect Bite & Sting Gel works by providing relief from the discomfort and itching associated with insect bites and stings. It contains active ingredients that help alleviate the symptoms caused by insect venom or irritants. Here’s how it works:
- Anti-Itch Properties: The gel often contains ingredients like hydrocortisone or antihistamines, which have anti-itch properties. When applied to the affected area, these ingredients help reduce itching and discomfort, providing quick relief.
- Anti-Inflammatory Action: Insect bites and stings can trigger inflammation in the skin. Medicare Insect Bite & Sting Gel may contain anti-inflammatory agents that help reduce redness and swelling around the bite or sting site.
- Cooling Sensation: Some formulations include ingredients that create a cooling sensation upon application. This cooling effect can soothe the skin and provide a sense of relief from the heat and discomfort associated with bites and stings.
- Topical Application: The gel is applied topically directly to the affected area. It is important to clean the area with mild soap and water before application. After gently patting the skin dry, a small amount of the gel is applied and massaged in, ensuring coverage over the bite or sting.
