They really like me and have attacked my ankles. Have tried Savlon (no) and Anthisan (helped a bit). Anything else?

Toothpaste. Trust me. Spent a childhood being eaten alive in Australia. Toothpaste is instantly soothing and the bumps will be gone by morning.

Tiger balm with cinnamon?

I used to find aloa vera gel worked very well. My brother used to get eaten alive by mossies until he started taking a B vitamin capsule every day - I just can't remember which B vitamin it was!! Sorry.

A hot hairdryer pointed at the spot until you can no longer stand it. Repeat 6 times.

Sudocrem. Lots of it.

Hot hairdryer works, as someone has already said. The relief lasts for a few hours, then you can do it again.
