A member asked:
Mosquito bite yesterday in woods oval shape (2 in. diameter) disappeared yesterday and now red, itchy, warm, tender to touch. cellulitis says np.?

Probably not: That sounds much more like an allergic reaction to it, give the time frame. Try Hydrocortisone cream and oral Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or claritin.

Warm compress: The mosquito can carry many organisms including west nile virus. If warm compresses and topical agents are not improving the np should possibly refer to infectious disease specialist.
