Mosquito Bites Itching, Turned Into Bruises, Raised Skin With White Dots. What To Do?

Hi!
I returned from France 6 days ago where I was badly bitten by mosquitos. The bite sites stopped itching and became like bruises but today approximately 10 days after the initial bites they have begun to itch very badly and I have raised skin around the bite site and a small white dot in the middle of some sites. What should I do?

Hi,
It seems that you developed allergic rashes after mosquito bite.
Due to bad itching now some infection took place.
Take antihistamine likeCetrizine or Benadryl for 2-3days.
If require go for short antibiotic medicine course after consulting your doctor.
Apply Zinc-calamine lotion on the part.
Ok and take care.
