You can also try "After Bite" It's a little pen that stings but really works for bug bites

Wash the site thoroughly just with soap and water.
or
Place ice (wrapped in a washcloth) on the site of the sting for 10 minutes and then off for 10 minutes. Repeat this process.
If necessary, take an antihistamine or apply creams that reduce itching (cortisone or betametasone). do not use alcohol.
dont take aspirin unless prescribed by ur MD
Over the next several days, watch for signs of infection (such as increasing redness, swelling, or pain).

yes take benadryl in the capsals its good for itching and benadryl also has a stick like chap stick you can rub on your legs for instant relief try not to scratch the itching especially flea bites the more you scratch ,the chances are good you will have an infection and you will have to be treated for that too, good luck

Actually, you can also dab some clear nail polish on each bite! It really works because it is the exposure to air that makes the bite itch. Seriously.

Use rubbing alcohol, this will stop the itchy and dry up the bites.

mix baking soda with water. apply a LOT to the itchy area. eventually itll dry out and just land on the ground..but its good for carpets. it gets the smell out.

Cortizone 10 anti-itch creme, get it at the drug store or most stores. No prescription. It is great for bug bites!

A little rubbing alchohol dabbed on can help ease the itching. Depends on where they are though. Some places you may not want to dab on alchohol.

a flat iron! heat it up just a bit, let it ever so softly touch the skin, the itch instantly goes away! if the flat iron scares you, use a blow dryer. calamine lotion sometimes just doesnt work for me and thats when i get the big guns! hehehe... no kidding!
