What Causes Stinging Sensation Behind The Ears After An Insect Bite?

I was bit by a flying light brown winged insect a little over a hour ago. The bite was on the right side of my head a little above the ear lobe. I shampooed my hair, put neosporin cream and hydrocotizone cream and applied ice but it is still stinging. No fever or swelling or rash just stinging.
