Suggest Medication For Itchiness And Bruise Below Knee Due To Mosquito Bite

I was doing a long run in the forest in Russia...got a bunch of mosquito bites in the process. One bite right below my knee doesn't itch at all, but became very red and swollen with lots of bruising and is sore to the touch. Elevation and ice seem to help it though it is still changing shape. There also seems to be a wierd sguiggly maze like white line connected to the bite (this is a new thing). I have had the bite for two days. Any ideas?
