I heard Johnson & Johnson baby powder works. Use at your own risk.
Where did you get them? Running through long grass?
Anyway, make sure and scrub them with soap and water to get rid of them. They can still be on you.
Racist.
There isn't any magic cure. Chigger bites can take weeks to heal. Prevention is the best medicine. Don't go to places known to be infested with chiggers. Wear bug spray. Shower and wash clothes soon after running in suspect areas.
If really bad, see doctor, might be able to prescribe a steroid or something.

Sand Dune checks back-in next week and is running a 9.8 100m

Biggest thing is to never run barefoot, especially on grass. Shoes prevent them from crawling up your legs.
Add a couple table spoons of bleach to a bath and soak them in it. Be fine and dandy after
chamomile lotion...put it on the spots a few times a day.
I literally just had to learn this myself...got around 10-20 chiggers on each of my feet (all below the calf, mostly around my ankle/achilles). The itching was so bad I couldn't sleep at night or wear socks...I lathered hydrocortozone cream all over my feet for 3 days but it didn't matter. Used chamomile for 8 hours and it was noticeably better (put each on a single foot to compare...difference was obvious) and after 2 days it was completely gone.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
