Everytime i get bit by a mosquito it leaves big hard itchy bumps on me and sometimes they hurt. could it be that i'm allergic to them?

Yes: Nearly everyone becomes allergic sooner or later to mosquito venom after a few bites. Try antihistamine. Some people get a huge reaction called Skeeter's syndrome which may require more intense treatment but neither is life-threatening.
