Suggest Treatment For Mosquito Bite Allergy In A Child
My 6-year-old child has an allergy against mosquito bites. Indeed, since his young age, it is as if mosquitoes do seek him. After each bite, he scratches to the blood. After, there is a crust and black scars remain. This is not at all aesthetic. As we always have mosquitoes in Africa, I wonder what I need to do because my young son is suffering too much.
