Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Mosquito bite can also do infection and irritation with the sting they can produce allergic reaction along with the saliva.

Because of which you are having these feeling.I would suggest you to take antibiiotics and anti allergic like fexofenadine 120 mg od.

You can take Tab CPM in the night and apply anti allergic mixed with antibiotic cream locally 3 times a day. It will take at least 3 week to come to normal.

Thank you.
