Try adding baking soda to your bath! Probably about a cup.Replied By Jean Stroud (Farmerville, La) on 07/21/2011
Chigger Bites.... To prevent, bathe with Avons Skin So Soft.... also helps to soothe if you already have them.Replied By Zdavid (Nc) on 07/01/2014
I am very sensitive to chigger bites. One or two bites on my feet or lower legs will keep me awake at night for a couple of weeks. I've found nothing will stop the itch, except scratching, which only lasts as long as you scratch it.
The best remedy is prevention. I buy an all-natural spray containing natural oils like cedar and eucalyptus and apply, religiously, to my feet and lower legs before going outside during the summer. I also spray my garden shoes every time. It works, and beats itchy and scratchy any day.

To stop itchy bites, I use a lotion called Sarna. I think I bought it at Walgreen's or CVS. Also, Amazon sells a cream containing sulphur. That may work as I saw it on another post about sulpher.
