Stubbing your toe so that hurts more than your finger ...
I have gone through so many ice cubes trying to ice it down and the cold water with ice cubes in it. it really helps take the itch away but not the swelling.

Hmmm baking soda and water. I will try that. Should I cover my whole finger or just where the actual sting is?

It doesn't actually hurt really at all..... other than the skin is quite irritated because it is stretched to it's limit with the swelling so everything feels like sandpaper on it lol.
