Rub the skin affected by insect bites using the solution you made earlier. Flatten it with your fingers then let it sit for a few moments.
After leaving it for a while, the insect bite which initially felt painful immediately subsided by itself. This is because, as reported by littlehimalaya.com, salt has antiseptic and inflammatory properties, making it suitable as a medicine for skin bitten by insects.
