ok I'm getting a little freaked out..
So the whole day today, I kept getting bit by mosquitoes!!..they itch like CRAZY. But the crazy thing is...each bump is like QUARTER SIZE. I'm not even kidding/exagerrating. It's SO big..I have like a total of maybe 6 all over my upper body. Is this normal?! ..I've never had bites this big ever!..Please help. :)

Hey I have this problem too. The biggest part you can do is clean it, and try not to scratch it. It's hard for me to practce what I preach but mine have gotten pretty nasty when I would scratch, I have about eight right now. Try putting paste made by baking soda and a little salt on them, and let them sit on for about an hour, then wash it off. If they itch, it's a smelly solution but Vinager will help not only cleanse it but take the itch away. If your putting it on after you itch it, it might sting.

I always get mosquito bites especially in the summer. Itz totally normal when it swells up and when it gets all huge. I suggest that you should apply some hydrocortisone cream to the affected areas. You can buy the hydrocortisone cream at any store that sells medication. I know that itz going to be hard but try not to scratch too much because it could get infected and it will swell up even more. I guarantee that it will stop itching in a few days. I hoped that I helped!

Hi
Some people have a horrendous reaction to mosquitoes, others do not.
My brother has always welted up when he gets bitten, as does my step son.
There's a product called "Afterbite" that is sold that you dab onto bites (from any insect) that immediately relieves the symptoms, and in most cases stops it from swelling up.
If a product like that doesn't work, then you may want to check with your doctor.
Take care,
Brenda

Wear bugspray and protective lcothing to protect you from further exposure. You could just be having a different reaction that usual because the mosquitos are a little different or your immune system is acting differently. You can try itch relief cream for bug bites, it works wonders.
