Vinegar is described as useful. Other 'cures' are at:
http://www.ccmosquitoes.org/stinginfo/ http://yoga.about.com/library/weekly/aa071701j.htm http://athena523.tripod.com/healing/insectbitestingremed.html You may have better luck with something from the pharmacy (Apothecary?). Be careful about what you put in your ear! this one doesn't sound like a DIY project.

Tobacco from a cigar or pipe, moistened with water. Sounds crazy, but the tobacco (when wet) will actually draw the poison from the sting, and it contains a natural anesthetic.
It works best when you are first stung. Not much good after the poison has worked its way in....
