Buy some lemons. Then cut some lemon slices and apply and leave them to the bite spot for a few minutes.
Aspirin for mosquito bites? Yup, make some aspirin paste by crushing some aspirin pills and dissolve them in some water and put the paste to the affected skin spot. If this doesn't do the trick, instead of using aspirin, try baking soda or if it is too much hassle, just rub some apple cider vinegar.
