Cicaderma ointment. Especially for when your bite develops into those huge blisters. It's got lots of natural ingredients. You can't buy it off the shelf in Ireland or the UK as most chemists never heard of it, but you can in Spain and other hot places etc. You can buy it on the net. It's relatively expensive about 4 euro a tube so shop around, but it works.

I found putting some aloe gel on stops the itching almost instantly. My other method is to scratch them off, it works but leaves a scar for a few months...obviously.

I think aloe is in cicaderma. My lovely boss Liz swears by cicaderma.

I do...... and they still love to eat me!
Toothpaste ( ANY flavour
) works great too-
or for the smokers, hold a lit cigarette as close to bite as you can, (as soon after bite as poss) , this also draws out the poison. and no swelling, no itching!..
