Mosquito bite: Does it itch or hurt? If it is a mosquito bite you can use a home remedy. Store aloe vera gel in refrigerator & apply to affected area. Rub basil leaf on bite. It repels mosquitoes & has anti-inflammatory properties. You can mix 2 parts baking soda w 1 part water. Stir into paste & place it over the mosquito bite. Can use calamine lotion. If not a mosquito bite, if it becomes hot, red, tender >>.
