After you’ve iced and creamed it, do something lovely for yourself. Watch a silly film. Eat a biscuit. Distraction is a powerful medicine. Your brain will get bored of worrying about the bite and start focusing on whether Timothée Chalamet should have won that Oscar instead.
If you’re prone to worrying, draw a little smiley face on the bite with a biro. It’s hard to be scared of a bite that looks like it’s cheering you on. Plus, you’ll laugh every time you see it, and laughter truly is the best anti-itch medicine.
