I have a bug bite on my foot how do i get rid of itch?

Medicine: Try an over-the-counter topical steroid such as cort-aid first. Avoid scratching it as it makes the wheal worse and itch more. If the itching is pronounced, you can take oral Benadryl (diphenhydramine) but watch for drowsiness as a side effect. If redness and pain increase, go to a podiatrist to make sure it is not becoming infected.
