Treatment for chigger bites consists of reducing discomfort (itching) and preventing infection. Keep the area clean with soap and water, then apply your an over the counter anti-itch medication, such as hydrocortisone cream or Calamine lotion. Oral Benadryl and oatmeal baths may also help. To avoid the possibility of infection, avoid scratching the affected areas.

I like the Aveeno Maximum Strength Hydrocortisone. It contains natural colloidal oatmeal, so you get the anti-itch effects of the hydrocortisone coupled with soothing oatmeal.
