Pharmacist's advice and education

It is very important to distinguish a mild local reaction from a severe systemic allergy (anaphylaxis). The gels and foams from our offer are perfect for treating local itching, redness, and minor swelling (e.g., from mosquitoes or fleas). However, if after a bee, wasp, or hornet sting there is shortness of breath, swelling of the lips, nausea, or dizziness, seek emergency medical help immediately, because creams do not help there. With a tick bite, do not try to "suffocate" it with oil or pull it out by force - it is best to have it professionally removed by a doctor. To prevent problems, avoid strong perfumes and brightly colored clothing in nature. Learn more about proper care after a bite in our expert guide:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can children use insect bite gels?
Yes, preparations like Fitomel 7 Junior gel are specially formulated with mild, natural ingredients that are completely safe for sensitive children's skin, soothing itching and preventing scabs caused by scratching.

2. What is the first thing to do after a bee sting?
If the stinger remains in the skin, carefully remove it with a blunt object (e.g., the edge of a payment card), taking care not to squeeze the rest of the venom into the skin. Immediately apply a cold compress, and then apply a gel to calm the swelling.
