Hello,
It seems unlikely to me that a mosquito could get to your penis, especially if you were wearing any underwear or shorts.
But if you are having itching around the penis, you could try using a weak steroid cream like hydrocortisone to see if that helps.
If it persists I would suggest having a doctor take a look at it to try to figure out what exactly is causing this.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
