Hi,
If you had taken care to avoid mosquito bites the next day. The rash you have can be allergy to some known or unknown thing one can also be allergic to mosquito bite itself.
In such case, try anti allergic pills like Allegra once a day till there is relief. Use mosquito net or repellents to avoid more bites. If there is no relief within 3 days of pills, consult your doctor to understand allergen/any other skin problem.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
