There's a home recipe you can use. Just get baking soda + a smidge of water. You want it to be a thick paste so don't add too much water. Just put it on your bite for 10 minutes and then wash the baking soda off. It helps dry out the bite and make the bump fade.
Take a benadryl helps you from scratching them.
There are other products you can buy at your local drug store that can help from scratching. But I don't think there's any products that can help with the bumps. You'll just have to wait it out for a week.

It's your body's natural reaction to the saliva that the bitting insect injected into you. Like when you get a cold and you feel all the symptoms its your body fighting off a virus. Same for insect bites even if you don't feel the itch your body still is fighting the saliva. So wait it out there isn't anything you can do. Next time resist scratching that adds bacteria. And use some anti itch insect bite cream that also reduces swelling when it starts.
