I have a mosquito bite on my upper lip... is it okay to put fenistil gel on it? my mom told me to do so, but i'm not sure...

Yes: assuming you have the version containing dimetindene, it is ok to use. however I do not normally recommend using topical antihistamine because some become sensitized to it. the most effective topical med for mosquito bites for me is campho-phenique
