vinegar will take the sting out until you can get some cream

Calamine lotion works. I learned as a kid many years ago that if you take your finger, get it wet with water, rub it over ivory soap and then put that on the bite it gets rid of the itch. Used that remedy many times, doesn't always work and not as good as calamine; believe it has to do with the pH of the soap being alkaline that does the trick.

A sprig of fresh Rosemary, rubbed in, also acts as an insect repellant of sorts.

If you can get to a pharmasist there are a lot of different products available. If you cant calomine lotion is a good shout so is vinegar.

I would recommend Calomine Lotion if that is not available than try rubbing alcohol. Another recommendation would be a baking soda solution.

Well what works with me funnily enough is... put a bit of your saliva on first, let it dry, and then add some toothpaste. It works! OH! and try not to scratch

This is nutty but it works. Ammonia.
That's what they put in those little roll on tubes of "itch away"
