  First lets come to an understanding. We are dealing with bites here not stings. Stings are entirely different creature, bites are from Mosquito, bed bugs and fleas just to name a few. For bites you can use any number of things that relieve itching. Try some toothpaste on the wound itself or vinegar.

  Next you can try to make a paste out of baking soda. To do this just add enough water to the baking soda to make it a paste, then dab onto the skin. This should help with the itching sensation.

  Finally you will need to be able to wash the would 1-3 times a day. This will help with the healing process and make the time much shorter. Another solution you may want to try is to crease an X into the bug bite and put your favorite anti itch cream on it. This also lessens time of healing.
