Local anti-itch products?

handyandy54

Hi,

I've just arrived on my third visit to Varna and found many more midges around this time. Back in th eUK I use Piriton to reduce the after n=bite itching. Would anyone know a local name for a product that is similar please? I've tried in a couple of chemists but don't have the language skill :-(

Any advice appreciated.

Andy

Hi Andy,

The seaside regions have this problem as well as some other parts of Bulgaria. Here is a product that works very well, it is designed for children, but you can use it:
1. anti-bite lotion: http://www.bochko.bg/bg/%D0%9B%D0%BE%D1 … 0%BC%D0%B8

2. after bite gel:

Both are very good, but there are many others also.
