Benadryll. There's a type that comes in a small plastic bottle with an aqua-bluish lid. It's a gel that works well on any bug bites and also any types of poison ivy, oak, or sumac

A touch of medical grade Tea Tree oil will stop the itching and get rid of the bump, usually overnight.

Forget creams, just apply an ice cube for a few minutes and it relieves the itch and swelling.

Try some baking soda with a little water to make a paste. Then rub it on the bite.

cortaid
or bactine
or you can use that calamine lotion, but it is pretty messy.
oh also you can use any peppermint toothpaste. it's weird, but the peppermint will take the sting out. be sure to use paste, not gel.
hope you feel better soon!

Vinegar is the best, just apply couple of times, it works and no side effects!
