Actually we are all kind of allergic to them which is why we itch and at least get a small red, raised bump. But younger kids and some more sensitive to them like my little guy get huge red welts with big white rings around them. Luckily he doesn't scratch at them.....yet.
We also do Benadryl and I have found some aloe gel that we typically put on sunburns seem to take the redness out of his making them not look so large and irritated.
