I have a ton of bug bites around both of my ankles that are driving me crazy. I've used some Itch Eraser and some cold rags/ice cubes, but nothing seems to help with the extreme itchiness. Are there any tips I could use to get further help soothe the itch?

Try whipping baking soda up into a thick paste. My wife used it one time when one of our friend's kids got stung with hornets, and it did wonders.

Either one of two things will work wonders. Lanacaine comes in cream form in a tube with 6% Benzocaine as the active ingredient. That's the best. There is something called Itch-X that will also do the job. You're kidding yourself with alcohol, calamine vinegar etc.

Chamomile Lotion, Aloe Vera Juice from the plant, or Benadryl Itch relief stick works great on my bug bites especially if you are alergic to the bites.

First of all remove bugs from the house. Secondly add 10g camphor in 50ml coconut oil and rub the affected parts and this will ease your itch. You can rub kerosene oil also. Take care and be in good health.

Tea Tree oil will stop the itch quickly and the bites will usually disappear overnight.

Use Benadryl cream...or either take a Benadryl. But be careful because the pills make you go to sleep really fast.

Aloe Vera, anti-itch cream, menthol (for soothing comfort) or calamine lotion.
For me they usually work.

Spray, or, lotion at your drug store. Then invest in a can of,Bug Guard,called Picaridin, from Avon, it works & smells good.

Try not to scratch, (almost impossible I know) and try Benadryl or Cortizone cream.
