Suggest Remedy For Bug Bites On Arms And Leg

My husband has mosquito bites covering his arms and legs. He has scratched them raw and look awful. He is looking for a way to make them go away, he is bothered by how bad they look. He says they don t really itch anymore. He has tried Benadryl, Cortisone, Neosporin, Calamine, etc. Do you have any suggestions? He is a picker, and I ve told him he needs to leave them alone, but he can t seem to. Would appreciate any advice. Thank you! Jennifer
