I have a mosquito bite near my ankle that comes and goes, and has been there for about two years. what can i do to make it go away for good?

Antibiotic ointment: Sometimes bites like that can get an infection in them causing them not to heal. One simple thing to try is an antibiotic ointment such as neosporin. If it does not get better, don't hesitate to be seen.
