You can use many things besides calamine lotion to stop the itching of a bug bite. Rubbing alcohol, aloe vera gel, Purell hand sanitizer, hydrocortisone, or an ice pack over the bite all will help take the itching out of the bug bite.

• Try Uncker's. I don't know where they sell it in actual stores, but when I was back east, I got horrible mosquito bites so I heard about this product and bought it from the Amish. Maybe you can look it up online, and I also used Hydrogen peroxide to dry everything out before I applied the product. And comparing it to the calmine lotion (i've used it before), you shouldn't even think twice before buying it.
• My mom tells me to put rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer on it. It always works for me.

• Ice cubes.
  
  (adding a little whisky makes them slightly more effective)
• dabbing tea tree oil on the bites can help too.
