I have been bit by a mosquito and it looks inflammated and it's growing bigger and it hurts when i touch it. why is that?

Infection: It could just be a reaction to the mosquito bite, like a hive, but it might be infected. If it doesn't go away in a couple days or if it continues to get worse or more painful, you should go to the doctor for an evaluation. It will probably be fine, just keep an eye on it.
