What Causes Itchy Bumps Like Mosquito Bites?
Ive had what i thought were mosquito bites on my legs, maybe 10 of them? They wont go away however? Hydro cortisone doesnt seem to help the itching. It is odd, usually a mosquito bite will go away within a couple hours. Ive had these all day and into the night. They itch intensely.

Dear- thanks for using our service.You are having an allergic reaction to the mosquito bites, giving you the itchy bumps from it. It might take 3-4 days to get better,try not to scratch too much to avoid openings in the area that can create an infection. You can use tripple antibiotic cream and calamine lotion for the itching. You can use benadryl 25 mg every 6-8 hours for the itching too.
