Heat denatures the proteins that cause the mosquito bite to itch. Some people use a hot spoon or lighter, but there are now also purpose-built commercial products for applying controlled heat. (I think "therapik" is one; not endorsing just FYI.)
The other trick for itchy bites: scotch tape! Just like the mystery of duct tape occlusion for warts, I don't know how it works. But it works. Before the heat discovery, scotch tape was #1 on my camping gear list.
