Suggest Treatment For Permanent Bumps After Mosquito Bites
I ve had quite a few mosquito bites leave permanent little bumps where the bite occurred. This started happening over the past few years and is occurring more frequently now. This never happened when I was younger. I m told I can have them removed, but then I will have scars. Is there no other option and other than not getting bitten, are there other ways to prevent these bumps from forming?

Hello, welcome to HCM. No need to worry, in some person mosquito bite reaction may persist for a bit longer period. Use protective clothing & repellent at daytime & net at night to prevent a further problem.The disease you mentioned called prurigo / papular urticaria.Use Fudic BNF cream twice daily for the existing lesion till remission. If not get relieved then consult a dermatological nearby.Good luck
