I was biten about 30 times by small black ants yesterday and nothing is working to stop the itch. What is interesting is that only the bites on my feet itch, but that is enough, I can't handle any more than that. Currently I am using Calamine lotion as I have found it works best, but there are still some stubborn bites that just don't stop itching. What is the best thing out there to relieve the itch and reduce swelling that does not have to be applied immediately after the bite? I've tried deoterant in the past, and it seems to work pretty well, but what else it there?

Aveeno anti itch lotion works great. It has calamine in it but also has some other ingredients that cause a cooling feeling.
