You can dab white vinegar on them in the first 10 minutes after reciveing the bite and you should not have any recurring symptoms after that. If it has been more than 10 minutes you can dab on one of the following to relieve the itch and swelling:
tea tree oil
lavender essential oil
eucalyptus essential oil
after bite cream

Laundry detergent, but make sure you only get a small amount right on the bite because I spread my around and the detergent sucked every last bit of moisture out of the healthy part of my skin. I had to put gobs of lotion on for days afterwards. It really does work though, the itching stops and the bites heal fast, and I'm slightly allergic to bug bites in general so this is good.

1. To keep mosquitos away, use baby oil; they don't like to put their feet in it
2. To help stop the itch of a mosquito bite, apply toothpaste (not gel) to the area
3. To keep mosquitoes from biting you place a dryer sheet in your pocket
4. For bites, apply hemmoroid cream

No, the bumps usually go away within 15 minutes, at least in my case.

Rubbing alcohol to ease the itch. Or perhaps vinegar.
