What Causes Pins And Needles, Swelling And Redness In Leg After Mosquito Bite?

I was bitten yesterday by a mosquito on the back of my thigh. The swelling, redness is about 20-30cm Lin circumference and now I m getting pins and needles in that leg- mainly my foot. I have put cream in and took antihistamines but it s getting itchier and more swollen. Any ideas?

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I will suggest that you upload a photo of the area of concern. This is present through the premium service portal. This may represent an inflammatory reaction following the mosquito bite or an infection. careful inspections needs to be made to make the difference and treat accordingly. If you cannot get an image to us, I will like that you go to a nearby hospital for examination and treatment.

I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
