No: It is possible to get more than one infection in your life time so there is no permanent cure for infections.

how do i get rid of scars from mosquito bites?

Accepted Answer

Don't scratch : In general, a mosquito bite reaction is a red itchy bump that does not scar. Pigmentation may increase as a reactive process. This pigment can remain for several months and will resolve without treatment. However, severe scratching can make scars. Topical antipruritic creams help, but self control is key.

Can only Improve: You cannot "erase" scars.  Poor scars can be improved through the following methods:

1) scar massage
2) silicone sheeting (a kind of silicone tape you where over the scar)
3) steroid injections
4) laser treatment (helps remove coloring)
5) scar revision (removing the scar and starting over).


Consult with a plastic surgeon to find out which combination of these would best work for you.
