Like mosquito bites? I don't know how well this works because I haven't done it in years but when I was little my grandma would put toothpaste on our mosquito bites and it would stop them from itching.

Either that or some good old aloe vera.

One word ...SCRATCH!!

Seriously, try some Calamine lotion or some Dermoplast, which is a spray-on anesthetic for minor scrapes and bites. Might help.

I always put ice on them...cuz I get them with sunburns. They come in pairs for me. So, it stops my itching for the time, and cools my skin.

toothpaste actually does work, or if you rub it instead of scratch it that sometimes helps
