Sea water helps any sores and cuts because it cleans out all the germs in it. So I think it would. But if it doesn't you can by cream at a chemest and it helps it not itch.

[edit]

I don't know if salt WATER helps, but I know that salt affects them. It works by drying out the bites, which ends up healing them and reducing the urge to itch them.

You are suppose to first dab the bite area with water, and then put salt on it. That to me, seems like the same thing as salt water.

I would say that salt water would very much affect mosquito bites.
