What should I do if a mosquito bite leaves a red mark?

The summer when mosquitoes are rampant is very sad, because the bites of mosquitoes can cause great harm to people's bodies, causing various pain symptoms, and greatly affecting people's lives. The skin often becomes red and swollen after being bitten by mosquitoes because mosquitoes carry a large number of bacteria and other viruses. Let’s take a look at what to do if a mosquito bite causes a red area?

This is an allergic reaction to a mosquito bite and can be treated with:

1. Wash the mosquito bite with soapy water, which will relieve the itching within minutes. You can also apply toothpaste. The cooling and anti-inflammatory effect of toothpaste can relieve the pain and itching after mosquito bites.

2. If the bite is very itchy, you can flick it with your fingers first, and then apply floral water, wind oil, cooling oil, etc. to relieve the itch.

3. Apply or soak the bite with salt water, which can soften the lump and effectively reduce inflammation and relieve itching.

4. You can use aloe leaf juice to relieve itching. If the area becomes red, swollen and itchy after being bitten by a mosquito, you can cut a small piece of aloe vera leaf, wash it, break it apart, and apply it to the red and swollen area a few times to reduce swelling and relieve itching.

5. Break a garlic clove and use the garlic juice to wipe the mosquito bite to relieve itching.

There is a substance in mosquito saliva that has vasodilation and anti-coagulant effects, preventing blood from clotting and making it easier for blood to flow to the bite site. The skin often becomes swollen and itchy after being bitten by a mosquito. But the itchy feeling is not caused by the mosquito sting or chemicals in the saliva. It is because the body's immune system releases a protein called histamine to fight foreign substances. When blood flows to the bite to speed up tissue recovery, histamine causes swelling of the tissue around the bite. The manifestation of this allergic reaction is itching, swelling and blistering.

After being bitten by a mosquito, you can apply soap to the bite. If the lump is large, applying some fresh pig bile is very effective. Apply it several times a day and it will take effect on the same day. If used continuously for several days, it will heal quickly. If you want to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes, take a tablet of vitamin B2 every day and mosquitoes will stop biting.
