Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have bumps on the head after mosquitos bites which occurs as a result of allergic reaction due to mosquito bite. You should wash area with neutrogena oil free. Apply ice pack on affected area , take antihistamine like benadryl or do not apply any hard cosmetic. If condition doesn't improve in a then consult dermatologist for proper evaluation. Doctor may prescribe hydroquinone cream , retinoids.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
