Hi,
Mosquito bite allergy can present as rashes, blisters which can be small or large. Itching can be severe in some patients. I would suggest you to take antihistamines and steroids to reduce itching and inflammation. Mild steroid cream can be applied locally to reduce itching.Any history of fever should also be ruled out.
Raised red bumps with black centre representing scab or eschar along with fever can also occur in tick bite which should also be ruled out. Severe form of allergy can present as breathlessness or facial swelling which is known as anaphylactic shock. Immediate treatment with adrenaline and antihistamine should be given. Prevention of mosquito bite by using repellents and net should be followed.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
