I have been biten lots by mosquitos and have been on antibiotics over a week they are still visible and itchy what can i do now?

Antibiotics?: Unsure why you were started on antibiotics unless you had secondary skin infections from scratching the mosquito bites. These are inflammatory reactions to material injected by the insect. A topical steroid cream might help alleviate the discomfort. Start using insect repellent. Good luck.

Finish all meds: and OK to use OTC 1% hydrocortisone cream, a pea sized drop to the most affected area AM/PM and Zyrtec (cetirizine) ( OTC) 1 tablet/day. Call private physician about your current issues.
