My leg as some insect has decided it would like a meal and has bitten me about 10 times on my leg and it itches like crazy. Haven't got anything to put on them either

if you dont have hydrocortisone, sudocrem might work or ice

I have found some calamine lotion, it expired last year but I will give it a go

ooooh i'm sure it will be fine stick it in the fridge for 5 minutes if you can bare it

Does calamine expire?

My FIL used a bottle of calamine on my nephew's chicken pox that had been in the cupboard since my OH had chicken pox as a small child. It must have been 20 years old at least and other than being a bit crusty it was fine.

think it's meant to be crusty innit?

put vinegar on it, it really stings but stops the itching straight away, I usually put it on with some cotton wool
