Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
From your history and description, I feel that you may having dry and sensitive skin which is called as an Atopic tendency. Such individuals have an allergy prone skin.
Apply a mild steroid cream containing fluticasone on mosquito bites 2- 3 times a day for 3-5 days. This will prevent marks to form. On the existing marks, you could apply a cream containing 2% Kojic acid twice a day till they lighten.
For ingrown hairs, gently scrub the skin during bath and apply a good moisturizer immediately after bath. Do not shave or wax against the direction of hair growth.
For improving complexion, use a broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or more every 4 hours.
Have a healthy diet rich in anti oxidants. Drink plenty of water.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
