What to do if a mosquito bite causes red spots

We often get bitten by mosquitoes in the summer, but sometimes we don’t notice it. Sometimes, the bites from poisonous mosquitoes will cause red spots and blisters, which are very itchy but cannot be scratched. We feel very upset. If we can’t help scratching, scratching the skin may cause skin infection. So what should you do if you get bitten by a mosquito and red spots appear and it itches? Now I will tell you how to deal with the itchy red spots caused by mosquito bites.

What should I do if I get bit by a mosquito and the red spots become itchy? What are the ways to deal with the itchy red spots caused by mosquito bites?

1. At home, you can use strong soap to quickly relieve itching, or dip soap in water and apply it to the red and swollen areas. The reason is the sodium salt of higher fatty acids in soap. For example: C17H35COONa. The sodium salt of this fatty acid is alkaline (containing OH-) after hydrolysis. The aqueous solution of formic acid contains H+. Because the OH- in soapy water neutralizes with the H+ in formic acid to form H2O, it can quickly eliminate pain and itching.

2. Apply some ammonia to relieve itching. The principle is the same as above.

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

4. Apply or soak the itchy area with salt water, which can soften the swelling and effectively relieve itching.

5. You can use the juice from aloe leaves 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 the swelling and relieve the itching.

6. Applying Tiger Balm and salt can provide local anesthesia and soothe nerves, alleviating the itchy feeling.

7. Grind the aspirin pills and apply them to the wound with water, which also has the effect of reducing inflammation and swelling.

Of course, the best way is to avoid mosquito bites. Mosquitoes generally like people with high body temperature, who exhale a lot of carbon dioxide, have body odor, wear makeup or hairspray, wear dark clothes, are pregnant, and drink alcohol. You can carry medicated oils such as wind repellent oil and wind oil essence with you when traveling.

In daily life, you can take some measures to prevent mosquitoes, such as:

1. Install screens on windows and doors, and remove water from window grooves in a timely manner.

2. Ensure the hygiene and cleanliness of sewers, floor drains, etc.

3. Mosquitoes are most likely to bite people at dusk and dawn, so you should avoid going out during this time. If you go out, you need to wear light-colored, long-sleeved clothing.

4. Use mosquito coils or mosquito repellent liquid containing DEET. If you are bitten, applying cold compresses can reduce inflammation and relieve itching, which helps prevent scratching and reduces the risk of infection. If you have sensitive skin and have symptoms of infection, you can go to the hospital to see a dermatologist if the condition is serious.

What should I do if I get bit by a mosquito and the red spots become itchy? The key is not to scratch it with your hands. You can apply cold compress on the red spots to achieve the purpose of anti-inflammatory, or apply some cool things such as wind oil, tiger balm, floral water, etc., which can relieve the itching feeling. If you have sensitive skin and the allergy is severe, please go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
