Please visit the site below after making a baking soda paste and treating the bite. My favorite remedies are #1 and #6 below
Steps
Wash the infected area with soap and water as soon as you recognize that you've been bitten. Try to keep the site clean and dry until the irritation abates.
Avoid scratching. Although a mosquito bite should itch for only a few days, continual scratching will increase your discomfort and may prolong the itching.
1) Make a paste of baking soda and water, using just enough water to make the paste sticky. Spread the mixture on the bites.
2) Rub soap directly on the bite. This is an oft-repeated home remedy for mosquito bites.
3) Apply an ice pack or ice wrapped in a washcloth to the bite area.
4) Use calamine lotion or a topical anesthetic containing pramoxine to help relieve pain and itching.
5) Purchase 1-percent hydrocortisone cream to alleviate the itching. Follow directions on the package for safe use.
6) Use an anti-inflammatory drug such as ibuprofen or naproxen to reduce any accompanying swelling or redness.
7) Take an anti-histamine like benadryl to help with any swelling or itching.
8) Do not rub skin, soak instead of scrubbing, and pat dry instead of rubbing.
9) Use aloe vera gel to reduce swelling and itching, aloe vera also forms a protective layer, to reduce possible infection.
KEEP MOSQUITOS AWAY...
1) Skin So Soft lotion from Avon keeps them away. I use it and it works. This weekend on the grandchildren also, not one bite.
2) Ground Cucumber Peel, Basil and Rosemary, place this in pot pourri bags around your home and in plants around your home.

Use diet E on the previous mosquito bites to cut back the discoloration and use non fruity perfumes mutually as outdoors to avert new encounters. Aloe Vera gel works properly for prevention too.

To stop the itching, try rubbing alchohol or calomine lotion. Hand lotion, or anything cool will feel good.

try using calamine lotion or "afterbite" on your mosquito bites.
it sounds weird but instead of scratching them you should slap them if they are itchy... they'll go away sooner than if you scratch
