Home remedy: Try washing the areas with soap and water then ice it.
Still bugging you? Get something at your store's pharmacy & look around.
I used to have this stuff (i dont remember the name of it) it was in a white tube with orange lettering on it. You put it on the bite area if you didnt scratch at it. If you did scratch at it, IT REALLY STINGS! This stuff's main ingredient was amonia.
Thats why I say to have a look around the pharmacy, get a 2nd opinion by asking one of the pharmacist what they would use other than calamine lotion, that is effective (if they arent too busy).
***EDIT:
Calamine lotion never satisfied my annoying itch, but hey, does not hurt to try.
****EDIT:
Speaking of spiders, you should clean your room mostly around your bed & your window. Didnt mean to sound like your mom, but i was thinking of a spider egg sack that might have been near your bed. Spiders like to stick egg sacks on corners and edges.
~Bed-bugs like to be embeded in the wood and carpet or rugs. They also leave nasty bites.

If it is red bugs and sea ticks or fleas you are going to have to get them off you first. The best way to do that is hot bath with two cups of Clorox bleach mixed in, and 1/4 cup of Pine Sol. It is going to be rough on your skin though. But that will get them off. You can also use a dog flea and tick shampoo as well.
If some other kind of insect like mosquitos biting flies gnats or Ants use. Fire Ant sting relief.
If you got into a bunch of spiders you will need to see a doctor.

it would help if you knew what kind of bugs.
Lay in a cold water bath.Try Benedryl gel if you don't know what they were. Put socks on your hands before you sleep so you don't scratch.
If its chiggers, you will have to look for a home remedy.
Amonnia dabbed on will stop mesquito bites.

Go to the pharmacy and ask for benadryl, you injest it, but it will help in about 25 minutes and you will finally get some relief!

Use Calimine (sp) lotion. You sometimes use it when you have the chicken pox. Or you could you anti-iche hydro-cortizone creme. I love that stuff. Hope it works sweety. I had that happen to me when I went camping.
