Has anyone’s child gotten the chiggers? How did you treat them? I’ve read hot baths, but I know my daughter will complain. Is there another way?

We used to put clear nail polish on them when we were kids, but I’m not sure that’s an actual treatment or an old wives tale, lol.

Nail polish! 
colored works it doesnt have to be clear
Clear finger nail polish always works
Nail polish doesnt work. Chiggers inject a enzyme that breaks down skin causing itching irritation, they dont embed themselves under the skin. It will go away on it’s own as long as no infection develops from persistent scratching.

Me! I had chiggers!! VASELINE will work.
Then wrap Saran Wrap all around the area. Like a mummy.
I was in the army when I had chiggers. So did most of my squad lmao! Anyhow the docs in the field made us do this. Worked like a charm.
Nail polish will also work, but it burns some and there’s too many chemicals.

Alchohol or witchhazel. This worked on us when I was little. They also sell medicines for it. Ammonia might also work.
