It could come from insect bites, eczema, allergies (food, drug, detergents etc), infections or diseases (and perhaps other sources too). You need to be examined to determine what it might be.

What is the incubation of scabies?

Well, you can take or leave this answer, but its my theory. I think the concept of a so called "incubation" period for scabies is a bit of a mis-nomer. Basically as I understand it, they jump on you, burrow into yourskin and start defacating and laying eggs. Generally what people think of as the incubation period for scabies is probably in fact the length of time it takes for an individual to develop a sort of allergy to the proteins associated with the mite. The actual lifecycle of the organism could well be turning over much quicker than the 4 or so weeks it takes for most people to show a reaction. This seems to be evidenced by the fact that individuals who have been previously infected or "sensitized" to them show a reaction within days.

How do you make a mesquito bite stop itching?

Simple. Just don't scratch. I went to a yard sale the other day and I was standing in tall grass. When I left the grass I felt a sudden extreme itchiness all the way down my left leg. I kept scratching it to see why it was itchy and it just kept getting worse and worse. Finally I just said the heck with it. So I just stopped scratching all together. Yes, it did itch like crazy but only for 20 minutes maybe 1/2 hour then it stopped. Who knows though they might wake me in the night itching but again you can't scratch. It can be hard not to scratch sometimes but there's really no point in scratching. You're itching like crazy in one spot or area. You can either not do anything and suffer for a few minutes or you can scratch where the itch will never go away and you might bleed. You decide.
