What do you guys prescribe for chiggers/ red bugs?
I got chiggers from the woods and was wondering on how to get rid of them. I've tried finger nail polish but to no avail

Just from personal experience: diphenhydramine and lidocaine.
Shower to remove bugs (they do not burrow although I have no source).
Benadryl Extra Strength Gel is great. Sunburn treatment with lidocaine, higher % is better. Oral benadryl if you are really bad off. Or, pop open some capsules and mix the powder with the lidocaine sunburn/aloe gel, apply topically obviously.
