Why suddenly mosquito bites are getting swollen? it did not happened again since i was little

Normal: Mosquito bites expose you to foreign proteins that your body can react to (like an allergy). Protect yourself with long sleeved loose clothing in the evening hours when bug bites typically occur. Topical Benadryl (diphenhydramine) gel can help the itch and swelling.
