Try taking some Benedryl; start with 25 mg. If that doesn't do it, take 25mg more. Don't go over 50 mg in a 6-hour period.

Hey,
You need a dose of Benadryl, to keep you from feeling the histamine, that gives the(itching) & swelling reaction,a topical cortisone or any over the counter anti-itch cream; should help keep you from wanting to scratch.
You may want to apply a cool compress to your arms. Your inflammation is from the scratching so, STOP, nothing is worse than infected mosquito bites.
If they get worse,or if you have trouble breathing, you may want to seek medical attention immediately
Good Luck.

Get some finistile gel, and if that doesn't help ask the pharmacist if you can use calamine lotion, and if that doesn't help ask for some homeopathic meds!!
