A member asked:
Why do mosquito bites itch around the bite and not on the bite? how do i relieve the itchiness? it's soooo itchy right now!

Not usually: The itching usually affects the whole area and not just the surrounding site. Regardless topical hydrocortisone cream along with oral antihistamine would be your best bet. You may also apply topical anti-itch cream containing menthol and a topical anesthetic to reduce the itching .
