Some home remedies that work to stop a mosquito bite from itching are to clean the mosquito bite or bites off with rubbing alcohol and then mix up some baking soda and water to make a paste and apply the baking soda paste over the mosquito bite to stop the itching from the mosquito bite.

You can also apply some lemon or lime juice to calm the mosquito bite itch down.

You can treat an insect bite or sting by following first aid tips such as:-

  • Immediately remove the sting, tick or hairs if still present on the surface of the skin

  • Wash the fresh wound with soap and water

  • Apply a cold compress or ice pack to any observed swelling for a minimum of ten minutes

  • Elevate or raise the affected area to reduce swelling

  • Avoid the tendency of scratching the bite area as it could lead to bursting of blisters and lead to severe infections

  • Avoid traditional home remedies such as vinegar or bicarbonate soda as they do not help much
