Some of my mosquito bites have turned very dark red in color. should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mosquito bites: Probably not, but without actually seeing these have no way to really know. If you have no other symptoms but redness they are probably fine, but if develop pustules, the redness spreads, is tender, painful or hot you should get these examined professionally.
