With wasp and bee stings the venom has been injected under the surface of the skin. There is nothing you can put on the surface of the skin that will neutralise the venom. All you can do is treat the symptoms: a painkiller to ease any pain; an antihistamine to counter any swelling; and something like calomine lotion to stop any residual itching.

It is a fallacy that you can neutralise wasp venom with vinegar. It came from people believing wasp venom was alkaline: in fact it isn't, it is chemically pretty well neutral. Vinegar is known to have some soothing action for certain skin conditions, but I think with wasp stings a lot of it is a placebo effect.
