A member asked:
For mosquito bites with bigger reactions- does this mean the mosquito sat on my skin longer and extracted more blood and injected more of the substance that causes itching?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That is one possibility! It could also be that the mosquito was bigger! Either way, icing the area will decrease the itching and applying calamine lotion will also decrease the itch. As you know, it goes away even without any treatment!
