I would be all in favor of using a hypothetical blessed scroll of genocide on mosquitoes.

I gather that topical antihistamines aren't to be used for little kids who swell enormously in response to mosquito bites. Do any topical remedies actually help?

(Please note specificity of question, thank you.)

The calamine is a lie?

It never worked for me, but my mother insisted every time I complained about a bug bite, and if I kept complaining I was told there was nothing more to complain about because I was chalky pink. (Though it did help a little with the scratching because I hated to get it under my nails.) I am feeling vindicated.
