What Is The Treatment For Mosquito Bite?

I recently have been attacked by mosquitoes on 2 different days so bad i had over 13 bite marks on my body. I kill them and keep my bed room door closed all the time but I still get attacked. I recently moved to another room to get away from them and still they follow me and bite me in the night. I herd bananas, body spray, and nectur make them appeal to you, but is there anything else that may be making them follow me and eat me alive? What can I do to prevent waking up with over 10 bites on my body?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it does not seems like insect bites and can be due to some other allergen and as you are continuously coming in contact with the allergen you are getting recurring episodes of the bumps..

You should consult an Allergen and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and allergic testing like Patch test, RAST test and Food Challenge test can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..

As of now you can take anti allergics like Allegra or Levocetizine, apply a steroid gel like Cortisone and do cool compresses over the bumps..
In case if there is pain you can take Ibuprofen to reduce inflammation and pain..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
