Is Clobetasol Propionate Advisable For Itchy Bumps Caused Due To An Insect Bite?

Hello, this weekend I was bitten by insects/mosquitos on my legs and feet. The bumps are small but very itchy. I have tube of Clobetasol Propionate Ointment 0,05% that was prescribed to me for a different skin condition a couple of years ago. Can I use it on my bites? Will it relieve the itchiness?
