Hi and welcome to XXXXXXX Thank you for your query.
First, if you have any breathing difficulties and progression of symptom you should go to ER. This is probably minor hypersensitive reaction but sometimes it can become very serious.
If you have any antihistamine medicine at home you should take it. If not go to your GP or pharmacy for it. Before that drink 5dcl of water. Wash your body in cool water and you can apply some toothpaste on the most itchiest places.Or you can ask pharmacist for specialy creams.
Dont scratch it,it can become infected. After this avoid mucaine, take some other antiacid medicines.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help
