It's mosquito season!
Thanko has released an electronic insect bite healer for sale.
Its tip part gets heated to about 50°C. By pressing it on the affected area, it will reduce blood flow volume and relieve the itchiness and irritation without medical skin cream.
There is also a small LED light built-in, which makes it easy to use in outdoor situations.

I have finger nails. One of their good uses is to fix an itch.

Haven't these been around for quite a while?

Pressing a spoon, heated up by hot tap water, onto the affected area does the same thing.

The manual pumps have been around for some time now, and are actually often a required item to have with you at longer trail running events (other ones being water and emergency blanket), so I guess they do work.

Fine if you're a cowboy... bit unhygienic, methinks. If it's like ants with formic acid, milk would neutralise it, whereas with alkaline stings vinegar or lemon juice would do to counteract them.

Chewing some cigarette tobacco and pressing into a bee or hornet sting works as well.
