Have you got any tiger balm? It'll feel hot but works and the balm seals the wound. If they're crazy itchy, teaspoon in boiling water and hot as you can stand, press it on the bite. I get bitten a lot!

Also, draw round them. Just to keep an eye on the size.

A drop of tea tree oil mixed with some moisturiser. Mine went down and healed so much by the best morning

I use hydrocortisone cream when I get those sort of bites.

Sudocrem at worst if you don't have anything else in.

Definitely hydrocortisone cream or if bone at home at the nomenclature sudocrem or anything to cool them.

Another vote for hydrocortisone cream, works better than insect bite cream or sudocrem

Tea tree oil, a plaster to stop me itching it.
