This is a list of things you can do at home: 1. Making a paste of baking soda and water and spreading it over the bites. 2. Using calamine lotion or a topical anesthetic to help relieve the itch and pain.

3. Itching can also be relieved by using a one percent hydrocortisone cream.4. Anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen will help with the swelling and pain.

I have not tried any of these, but there are a couple of sites that have lists of what you can use. "Over 40 Mosquito Bite Itch relief Remedies": tipnut.com/over-40-mosquito-bite-itch-re... "How to stop mosquito bites from itching" : wikihow.com/Stop-Mosquito-Bites-from-Itc....
