Hi,
You may use mosquito nets or Odomas cream for mosquito bites. Avoid water storage nearby your house.
Please observe it is due to mosquitos or other insects. Use moisturizer cream locally.
If symptoms not improved please consult your physician, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
