After Bite Insect Bite & Sting Relief

What Is After Bite?

After Bite products are topical treatments formulated to calm the skin after insect bites and stings. The hero product, After Bite Classic, comes in a convenient pen-style applicator containing a soothing solution that helps relieve itch and irritation within minutes of application.

On Welzo, After Bite sits within a wider ecosystem of bite relief and prevention, including: Bites & Stings relief, Insect Protection, and multi-purpose first-aid creams like Germolene Antiseptic Cream 55g.

Benefits and Features of After Bite

After Bite is designed to be quick, portable and effective, making it ideal for holidays, camping, picnics and garden use. Key benefits include:

• Fast itch relief – helps reduce itching and discomfort soon after application.
• Helps calm redness and irritation – supports the skin’s natural recovery after bites and stings.
• On-the-go format – pen applicator is pocket-sized and leak-resistant, perfect for bags and rucksacks.
• Targeted application – dab directly on affected areas without having to treat large areas of skin.
• Useful for multiple bite types – suitable for common insect bites and minor stings.

Many people combine After Bite with proven repellents from Jungle Formula or other insect protection products to both prevent and treat bites.

Why After Bite Is an Important Part of First Aid

Insect bites and stings are common at home and abroad. While most are minor, they can be intensely itchy, distracting and uncomfortable, especially for children or those with sensitive skin. Persistent scratching can also break the skin and increase the risk of infection.

Keeping a dedicated bite-relief product like After Bite to hand helps:

• Reduce the urge to scratch and damage the skin.
• Make outdoor activities more comfortable and enjoyable.
• Provide quick relief at night, reducing sleep disruption from itching.

For more general wound and sting care, many households also keep multi-purpose creams such as Germolene Antiseptic Cream and dressings from the broader Skincare and Bites & Stings collections.

How to Use After Bite

1. Clean the area gently
   If possible, wash the bite or sting area with mild soap and water, then pat dry. This helps remove surface dirt, sweat and any remaining insect residue.
2. Apply After Bite directly to the bite
   Using the pen tip of After Bite Classic, dab a small amount directly onto the bite or sting and spread lightly over the surrounding skin.
3. Allow to dry
   Let the solution dry naturally. Avoid immediately covering with tight clothing or dressings unless necessary.
4. Reapply as needed
   If itching returns later, you can usually reapply according to the package directions. Do not exceed the recommended frequency.
5. Monitor for signs of reaction
   If swelling worsens, a rash spreads or you feel unwell, seek medical advice, especially after stings from bees, wasps or unknown insects.

Expert Insight & Safety Notes

Most insect bites resolve on their own within a few days, but topical treatments like After Bite can significantly reduce itching and discomfort, especially in the first hours after a bite or sting. Reducing scratching is important, as repeated trauma to the skin can lead to secondary bacterial infection.

However, any signs of systemic reaction — such as difficulty breathing, facial or tongue swelling, dizziness or rapidly spreading rash — require urgent medical attention. In these cases, first-aid products are not enough on their own.

After Bite FAQs

What types of bites and stings can After Bite be used for?

After Bite is suitable for many common insect bites and minor stings, including mosquitoes, midges, horseflies, fleas, wasps, bees and jellyfish. It is designed for use on intact skin; always follow the specific advice on the product packaging.

How quickly does After Bite work?

Most people notice some reduction in itching and irritation within minutes of applying After Bite, especially when it is used soon after the bite or sting occurs. For persistent itch, you can usually reapply according to the label directions.

Can children use After Bite?

After Bite can generally be used in older children, but you should always check the age guidance on the specific pack and apply under adult supervision. For babies and very young children, parents often combine careful bite prevention with gentler options from the Baby & Child Health ranges and seek medical advice if unsure.

Can I use After Bite on broken or very irritated skin?

After Bite is intended for use on unbroken skin. If the bite has been heavily scratched, is weeping, or looks infected, avoid further irritation and consider gentle cleansing followed by a suitable antiseptic cream such as Germolene Antiseptic Cream 55g, and seek medical advice if symptoms worsen.

Should I still use insect repellent if I carry After Bite?

Yes. After Bite treats bites after they happen; it does not prevent insects from biting. For best protection, pair it with repellents from the Insect Protection and Jungle Formula collections to reduce the number of bites in the first place.

When should I seek medical help instead of just using After Bite?

See a doctor or seek urgent care if you experience difficulty breathing, facial or throat swelling, dizziness, chest tightness, rapidly spreading redness, signs of infection (such as pus, warmth and increasing pain), or if symptoms do not improve within a few days despite using After Bite and other over-the-counter treatments.
