This usually happens when you are on dialysis (end stage kidney disease) and your Ca x PO4 is too high. In early stages of kidney disease, your PO4 could be high but usually Calcium is not high (unless you take too much vitamin D or calcium containing PO4 binder). If you are on dialysis, try to control PO4 well. Mosquito bite usually causes a red papule then itching but it will resolve in 1-3 days
