How to treat severe reaction of mosquito bites?
Patient: I have quite severe reaction to mosquito bites.  They itch initially then turn into two inch diameter hard swollen circles getting progressively itchy.  They then get a head which looks like a chicken pox pustule.  I have tried most mosquito sting relief creams lotions but do not get a lot of relief.  They eventually go down after 4/5 days.  Can you suggest a cream / lotion with a more instant relief.  Thank you Doctor: HI, thanks for using healthcare magicThe response to insect stings can vary from one person to the next.You should try to reduce the bites. This would mean checking your environment for any containers that may be collecting water. Even small still water collections can act as breeding ground for mosquitoes.You should also apply a mosquito repellent and consider screens on the windows of your home.An oral anti histamine may work in addition to your topical creams to help reduce your response.Most of the topical agents are similar.I hope this helps
