What does a mosquitoe bite look like?

Mosquito bites typically appear as small, red, itchy bumps on the skin. The bump may be surrounded by a small area of swelling and redness. In some cases, mosquito bites can also cause blisters or hives.

The appearance of a mosquito bite can vary depending on the person's skin type and sensitivity. Some people may experience more severe reactions to mosquito bites than others.

If you are bitten by a mosquito, there are a few things you can do to relieve the itching and swelling:

* Wash the bite with soap and water.

* Apply a cold compress to the bite.

* Use a calamine lotion or anti-itch cream to the bite.

* Take an oral antihistamine to reduce itching.

If you experience a severe reaction to a mosquito bite, such as difficulty breathing or swelling of the face, throat, or tongue, seek medical attention immediately.
