Sorry to hear that. Try some nivea lotion and Johnson baby powder to calm the skin. Hope it will help.

Benadryl topical gel is good for stopping the itch. Avon skin so soft works great for me as a repellent too! They even make it in wipes which makes putting it on so easy! I've also hear dif you put dryer sheets in your pockets it helps keep them away too.

They have calamine lotion plus. The plus is for extra itch relief... Works so well and they sell it in a clear formula so you don't have to have the pink spots everywhere... As far as repellents I know feet is bad for us preggos but I use homemade repellents... You can Google different options depending on what you have around the house
