You should try "AfterBite" an ammonia stick that really lessens the pain and itch and makes the bite heal faster.

Ice packs work if you apply them asap after you get bitten.Just apply for about 1-2 minutes and it stops the itch. This will probably work for you while you are at practice because there must be some available for injuries. Cold running water will work as well. The whole trick to the bites is to not scratch them as it spreads the poison that causes the itch.

Awww mosquito bites suck....
Make sure you wash and clean the area first, and avoid scratching it.. Then you can mix together this paste with baking soda and water and put it on your bite. Put ice or a cold wet cloth over it to avoid scratching... Thats all i got, sorry!

Make a paste of Adolf's meat tenderizer, or baking soda, it really will take the sting out. My husband uses this stuff called bite be gone. It also relieves the swelling and itching.

I think you can pee on them and that will help. Oh, maybe that's for a jelly fish sting. I can't remember. Try it anyway and get back to me.

STEP 1: 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.
STEP 2: Avoid scratching. Although a mosquito bite should itch for only a few days, continual scratching will increase your discomfort and may prolong the itching.
STEP 3: Make a paste of baking soda and water, using just enough water to make the paste sticky. Spread the mixture on the bites.
STEP 4: Rub soap directly on the bite. This is an oft-repeated home remedy for mosquito bites.
STEP 5: Apply an ice pack or ice wrapped in a washcloth to the bite area.
STEP 6: Use calamine lotion or a topical anesthetic containing pramoxine to help relieve pain and itching.
STEP 7: Purchase 1-percent hydrocortisone cream to alleviate the itching. Follow directions on the package for safe use.
STEP 8: Use an anti-inflammatory drug such as ibuprofen or naproxen to reduce any accompanying swelling or redness. STEP 9: Take an anti-histamine like benadryl to help with any swelling or itching.
STEP 10: Do not rub skin, soak instead of scrubbing, and pat dry instead of rubbing.
STEP 11: Use aloe vera gel to reduce swelling and itching, aloe vera also forms a protective layer, to reduce possible infection.

In rare cases, you may contract encephalitis from a mosquito bite. If, 5 to 15 days after a mosquito bite, you experience severe headaches, fever, nausea and vomiting, disorientation, chills and/or muscle aches and pain, see your doctor immediately.

If you have specific medical conditions or concerns, we recommend you contact a physician. This information is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.
