Vitamin B12 supports the healthy red cells and helps the operation of the nerve cells. Combined with the other vitamins from the same category ( B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 ) helps the healing of the open wounds and implicit the healing of the bug bites.

No. B12 is not shown to help with bug bites. After a bite, topical treatments work best. An antihistamine may also be helpful.

There is nothing to suggest that vitamin b12 is good for bug bites. It is beneficial for vitamin deficiency and lowers hormocysteine which helps prevent heart attacks and stroke by stopping the narrowing of the arteries.Vitamin c is very good for the skin and it helps to heal so this vitamin could be more beneficial.

It would not be a god treatment for bug bites. It has no anti histamine or anti inflammatory properties. I is generally not thought of as a effective pain killer. For bug bites you would need TEA TREE OIL which Is an antiseptic and ALOE GEL Relieves inflammation. Plantain is also a effective bug bite treatment.
