A member asked:
Mosquito (i think) bite swelled really large & hot to the touch. 1wk later swelling is down but area is now covered in small itchy/painful bumps. bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skeeter syndrome: This is likely from an allergic reaction to mosquito saliva. The treatment is symptomatic-topical anesthetic or NSAID for pain and topical anti-itch agent for itching. If no cellulitis , antibiotic is not indicated. The lesions will eventually subside. www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/mosquito.../con-20032350
