Anti-inflammatory medications or antihistamines may also help, but the most important step is resisting the urge to scratch, which can extend and intensify the itching. Scratching can also increase the risk of infection and make the bite heal more slowly.
After being bitten, it may take a few hours to a day for symptoms to appear. The bite will initially form a raised white welt and gradually become a red bump over the next day.
