I am like you, always react badly to bites. Now I am wondering has it something to do with the immune system. Got bitten really bad two weeks ago on one arm and they are still not healed up yet. I think you might be onto something here.

Yes I have been biten twice and i think it was just something that might of itched a bit before. But my foot got swollen and it hurt when i would walk on it. Igot bite on my hand and it was swollen but then came the scratching. Lol. Like there is not enough of that. I go in sapt for my specialist. I will ask him. Thank you all.

I now have very sensitive skin which I didn’t have before. I love perfume but can’t wear it anymore as my skin reacts to it.

I’ve always had a severe reaction to mosquito bites, well before being diagnosed with PBC. I found a brilliant product called Mosquito Milk. It’s a roll on which will repel all biting insects, including the scourge of Scotland, the dreaded midge. I have recommended it to lots of people and it has worked every time. It can be purchased online from Chemist Direct. I’ve never been bitten since I started using it.

That’s great advice :). Thank you so much. I’ll have to see if they sell it or something like it in the USA.

That’s not good 😟 I believe you can get the repellent on Amazon or directly from the manufacturers website in the US. It’s well worth it and so easy to use, it doesn’t smell bad like other sprays etc. either. I’ve used it for years now. Hope you feel better soon x
