Use ice to make the itching stop for like, 2 minutes while you put on some anti-itch cream (Cortisone cream, Benadryl cream, Bacitracin, etc). After that, try not to scratch it and apply the cream when you need to. Another really good thing is calamine lotion. That can make anything stop itching. They make clear calamine lotion too if you really don't want to see the white lotion on your skin when it dries. Apply that whenever you start to itch and/or after washing the skin. It works wonders!

I always used to use Rhuligel, I'm not sure if they still make that or not. Otherwise, 10% cortisone cream should help.
If the itching is really bad, you can take some Benadryl, which has anti-histamines in it. That will help relieve the itching, but it will also knock you out, so don't take it during the day.

Maybe you should avoid the bug bites in the first place and use that new insect replellent and sun block combined stuff called Bull Frog i think. It's on the tv commercials.. good luck and i guess you can buy some gel that relieves the itching. Such as "Band-Aid, Anti-itch gel" You should go to the drugstore to ask about it... good luck :)

Garlic will make them stop as well...take some garlic pills or mix some powder and water and rub it on the bite.
I will have to try it myself, but thats what they say.
God Bless.

Get a Skitter Stik at Walmart and don't let them talk you into anything else.It works nothing else does.

mmm..maybe you can use some repellent to make them go away ,and here in honduras we use something called "calamina" for itching.
