Does rubbing a piece of potato over the infected area ( mosquito bite) helps in decreasing irritation nd pain?

Better options: A better choice would be to hold and ice cube to help with pain or itch...And apply an antibiotic ointment like polysporin (bacitracin and polymyxin) and / or Hydrocortisone for the itch.
