To reduce itching from a mosquito bite, you can try the following:

-   Take over-the-counter antihistamines or medications that contain a similar substance.
-   Apply a paste made from witch hazel and baking soda to the bite to reduce itching.
-   Eat plenty of vitamin B1, which helps reduce skin sensitivity.

Okay, the witch hazel seems to be legit, but I don't think it requires baking soda

Hm, maybe you’re right. Here’s some info about how the baking soda and witch hazel might work:

-   Baking soda has a pH of around 8, while the witch hazel has a pH of about 3. Because of this difference, the baking soda neutralizes the acidity of the witch hazel to prevent any adverse skin reactions. 
-   Baking soda is also an antifungal agent, and may prevent the formation of itching-inducing yeast.
-   The itching-relieving effect of witch hazel has been well-documented, but the itching-preventing effect of baking soda has not been extensively studied.
