Take your finger nail. and press hard into the mosquitoe bite - then cross it again. you will push hard enough to make an X on the bite.

scratch them till they bleed
put medication on fingernail polish put it on the bump and let it dry
Try using Neem Oil, and/or Tea Tree. Both of these are completely natural and have limited if any side effects. These have been used by indigenous people for centuries to combat against common ailments.
use cortisone on it, and DONT scratch it

Yeah. Its going to itch, just don't scratch it. And I think the more you leave it alone, the faster it will heal. cortisone cream or alcohol
Alcohol seems to help. Also calamine lotion or Benadryl Clear Liquid. .
As nutty as this sounds, it works.take your finger nail and mark an X in the bubble left from the bite..viola..itch free!
Tea Tree oil will stop the itch and swelling. baking soda
ammonia, there's a topical treatment called afterbite,it's a long tube with an applicator pad on the tip,take the top off and tap the bite,poof,no more itch.
We have found that Sea Breeze astringent works great. It is sold in drug stores as a facial cleanser. It has camphor in it which seems to be the itch reliever. It works for flea bites, minor spider bites, etc.

My mother who is 94, has used Sea Breeze for this purpose for at least 40 years.
CLEAR FINGURE NAIL POLISH IS THE BEST IT CUTS OFF OXYGEN TO THE ITCH AND IT WILL STOP . WILL BURN FOR LIKE 10 SEC THOUGH. Don't scratch at them. Put an anti-itch cream on them so they won't itch too much.
I use Witch Hazel and the homeopathic remedy Ledum. or Staphysagria if the Ledum doesn't work. Taking 1,000 mg. dose of vitamin C helps, too.
