A member asked:
Mosquito bite ended up painful, read and puss formed. what can i do other than washing it up in diluted dettol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe infected: Mosquito bites can be red and painful, but pus is not part of the reaction to mosquito bites. It may be that a bacterial infection developed from scratching. Please see your doctor. You may need some antibiotics.
