Oh yeah, the scrapin thing is important. What she said. ^[

Heres a few things i do:
The juice from an Aloe Vera plant is very soothing to the skin. Cut open a leaf and squeeze out the juice. Apply this directly to the skin. The gel from the Aloe Vera plant will also help to draw out any infection...
A poultice of Lemon Balm is also very soothing for insect bites. Crush the leaves and add a small amount of water. It should be the consistency of a paste. Apply this to the area affected by the bite..
To relieve irritation from an ant bite, apply cut garlic or onion to the site. This will balance the acid from the bite. Apply cucumber juice afterwards to sooth further...
A poultice or salve made from mint has a cooling and soothing effect on insect bites. You can also add the crushed leaves to a bath to sooth skin irritation and itching. Any type of mint will produce positive results.
