Have Swollen Mosquito Bite On Leg. What To Do?

I have four mosquito bites on my legs. Three out of the four aren t to swollen but the fourth one has been getting bigger throughout the day. Is this because of it s location as it sits on the inside of my left leg or is it something more serious. I usually do get big red marks around my mosquito bites but this one seems bigger than usual.
