Something numbing. Do you have any tattoo cream or canestan or bonjela in the house? Or try soaking your feet in tepid/cold water.

Ice cubes to cool them down.

It won’t help you today but if you can get Buzz Patch over there order some for the cupboard. Amazing for bites and really do work

Put a teaspoon in very hot water, but not hot enough to burn you.
Press the back of the hot teaspoon onto the bite for 2 minutes.
It kills the protein that causes the itching.

Use your nail to make an X on the bites.

@Debetswell said what I came here to say! Loads of mozzies where I live and it’s the only solution I’ve found that really works.

Germolene

1% steroid cream will reduce the itching.

Lavender essential oil is good for stopping itching. I react to mosquito bites and I find it really helps.
You can dab it on pure (not the case with all essential oils but you can with lavender).
