    Best thing for the itching is an antihistamine and/or some antihistamine cream. Not sure about infection but keeping it clean is likely to be important.

    Hi @_Tech_Addict_Girl
    I also find that ice, or anything cold from the freezer like peas, also helps with bites too. If I remember it tries to bring the poison to the surface. It also works good if you've been scratching it quite a bit too.

    Hope this helps
