A member asked:

How do i get rid of the mosquito bites on my legs. there is no itching, just red blotches that look horrible!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mosquito Bites: Topical treatments prescription strength cortisone cream or calamine lotion to bites. A cold pack or baggie filled with crushed ice may help, too. Oral antihistamines for stronger reactions, taking an antihistamine containing Diphenhydramine (benadryl), chlorpheniramine (chlor-trimeton), Loratadine (claritin) or Cetirizine (zyrtec) may ease your body's response.
