That is an histamic reaction to the bite . You need and anti-histamine to counteract it...Try a generic benadryl..a lotion for application and a pill ...
Note: this may well make you sleepy as this IS the active ingredient in most OTC sleep aids.
Tea tree oil is also helpful for the itch and inflammation...

Some over-the-counter hydrcortisone cream or ointment 1% should help. If the bite starts to get larger, has spreading redness, or has any drainage (pus) coming from it, you should see your doctor. If it is just itchy and irritating, the hydrocortisone cream will make that stop.

Hydrocortisone and try to get it checked out as soon as possible for possible allergy.

Hidrocortizone.
If you are out of medicine, try tobacco of a cigarette chewed.

put moisturizer on it and then cover it up so you don't touch it.
