I don't know if the oral benedryl can be turned into the topical, I use the gel kind and just keep it in the house. For the tobacco I just deconstructed a cigarette, added just enough water for it to glom together and the put it on the affected area, I had to use spit one time when I got stung by a yellow jacket at an outdoor concert, the hardest part was bumming a cigarette to use, but after applying it I could see the red streaks recede from around the sting, it was amazing! I have no idea how or why it works, but it did for me. I have had stings on my hands before, I know how awful it can be, I had to ice my hands one time to keep the skin from splitting open from 4 wasp stings on one finger. It turned black before the swelling went down.
Right after you get stung ammonia applied topically can reduce the reaction for most insect bites, but not later.
Good luck, I hope something helps.
