Hmm. I used Chiggarid before and it was nail polish with another ingredient or two. I haven't seen it in stores for years, but I ordered it from the manufacturer a couple of years. Maybe I should order again if it's still around. I've got a first aid spray that helps a bit. And there's a couple of things left over that my dermatologist ordered for another itchy problem. But also, warm to hot baths or showers really do help. After you've been in a chiggary area, take off clothes and preferably wash with hot water if possible. Take your hot bath or shower, which in itself will help, then apply any remedies to affected skin. Keep in mind you don't want the chiggars indoors, so either wash clothes right away or put in sealed plastic bag until you can. BTW, chiggars are not insects. They are kin to ticks and spiders.
