Benadryl Itch Stopping Gel has worked the best for me. The sooner it's applied, the better it works. But some bites you do have to reapply when it starts itching again. Works on chigger bites, but has been especially helpful on a tick bite which have a lot more staying power on me than other bites.
I hope I don't regret mentioning a brand name again

. I'm sure there are other itch remedies out there and I haven't tried them all by any means. I stopped trying them when I found one that worked well.
