Hello there. I can understand your concern. It's a normal thing to experience after a mosquito bites. You can apply some calamine lotion or some moisturiser over it to soothe the pain. If it still persists, you can start a online consultation so that I can help you further. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
