I'm sure lots of people will give you good advice on how to avoid getting bit in the first place but I've found that if I use self-control in the first 30 minutes and don't scratch, it goes away.
A bite really doesnt itch bad at all if you NEVER scratch it. It just tingles a bit and goes away. A normal person scratches the tingle without thinking and suddenly they have an itchy bite.
Scratching definitely makes the bite more itchy. I get bit probably 6 or 10 times every night and don't have any bites when I wake up.

Or other options:
1. Nuke the whole world so all mosquitos are gone.
2. Eliminate stagnant water around your home.
3. Cut your nerves off so you don't feel mosquito bites.
4. Stay inside a giant plastic bubble.
I hope my answers can help you further your war against our flying blood sucking enemies.

Wear coverd up clothing. Have screens on windows. Burn citronella candles when outside. Use an insect repellant with deet. Do not keep bodies of water outside. Kid pools. If you have a pond make sure it has fish or something to eat the mosquitos. If you have a kid pool dump the water out every day. Do not allow water to stand.

All right, heres what you do!!
1. Get really strong insecticide (liquid) and mix it with the body lotion you use,
2. Go to bed after doing so.
3. Then when you are asleep, all the blood suckers cry for mercy and leave your town for good.
