The most common signs of a mosquito bite include a round puffy bump that may have a centered dot. This bump can swell and become red a few moments after the bite. An individual may have several bumps around the same boy part or area to imply several bites. People with low immunity may experience severe signs, including a large swelling or hives. Some people may feel itchy after a mosquito bite because the female mosquito releases saliva into the body when siphoning blood. The saliva contains a protein that most people are allergic to.
To treat mosquito bites, here are some natural solutions I used before and worked;
- Start by washing the area with pure water and soap before applying a cold compression for around 10 minutes to reduce itchiness and swelling.
- Make a paste by adding water to baking soda and apply to the area for 10 minutes before rinsing it off.
- Honey application to reduce inflammation and help avoid scratching, which could worsen the signs.
- Aloe vera plant or gel application for faster healing and irritation reduction.
