Features

When you are bitten by a mosquito, tick, or blackfly, your skin reacts sensitively and becomes itchy. If you leave it untreated, the itching will get worse and the bite will become red and swollen.
When you apply Unakowa Cool Alpha, the lidocaine first stops the transmission of the itch, while diphenhydramine hydrochloride suppresses the action of histamine, which causes the itch.
In addition, dexamethasone acetate effectively relieves itching by suppressing inflammation, which can cause the itching to worsen and the affected area to become red and swollen.
If you are bitten by an insect and experience itching, treat the bite quickly with Unakowa Cool Alpha.
