I'm getting really extremely itchy mosquito bites that lead to blood and scabs because i scratch them so bad i've never had this kind is it new?

No you've become: more allergic to mosquito bite saliva. Use benadryl (diphenhydramine) and get a steroid cream from your Dr. to place on bites to reduce itching and swelling..
