Mosquito bite: Turning purple, shouldn't worry you, unless, painfull, or started to be inflamed , just keep the area clean, you can apply OTC hydrocortisone 1% cream twice a day for few days, good luck

Should my "mosquito bite" last 2-3 weeks? It's the same size as it originally was, and just as itchy if not more. It's also gotten kinda purple.
