I'm not sure Anthisan cream is available in the U.S., but it is an antihistamine cream. Probably benedryl cream would do the same thing.

There is sound advice in this thread from two medical professionals, amidst home remedies that "may" help and "might not" do harm. Primium non nocere.

Some of my woods buddies are good ole country boys. They'd put napalm on poison ivy; waste good whisky on a cut; slash and suck a snake bite; smear butter on a burn. I just hope I'm never stung, bitten, or injured to the point that I can't ward off their attempts to help. I rememember watching silently while one of them painted another's sadle sored rump with "Skin Shield Liquid Bandage and Pain Reliever". Man, the hollering almost caused the horses to stampede.

Primium non nocere -first, do no harm.
