Tweezers are an essential part of any first aid kit, particularly if you enjoy hiking or other outdoor activities. The safest way to remove a splinter or a tick is with a clean pair of tweezers. Disinfect the tweezers well before and after each use.

For itchy bites, consider carrying two small packets of 1% hydrocortisone cream. This topical steroid provides quick relief from itching and reduces inflammation.

Once you've gathered the essentials for your mobile first aid kit, you'll need a way to keep them clean and dry. You don't have to buy a fancy medical bag. A water resistant makeup bag, tool kit, or fanny pack can work well.
