Mosquito bites (mildly TMI)

[(Anonymous)]

I've been having unusually bad reactions to mosquito bites this summer. Rather than the usually white and puffy bite, I've been getting giant, hard welts that take a few days to go down. And now I have one bite that has been leaking clear fluid for almost 24 hours. Various google searches have only produced results about pus (which this isn't) or people who pop their bites (which I haven't, and also, I don't even know that was a thing).

Is this something that's happened to anyone before? Should I be freaking out or just keep slapping bandaids on it and hope it stops soon?

I get those and, well, I'm still alive.

I didn't know that was abnormal.

Heh, I'm not sure if it's abnormal, although I usually get covered in mosquito bites in the summer so this happening for the first time is freaking me out a smidge.

Good to know I probably will not die.

I've had those for years. There are such things as mosquito repellent bracelets that work quite well, actually.

It happens to me every time I get bit. It's the result of a relatively mild allergic reaction. It isn't going to kill you, just take some OTC antihistamines. It'll help the inflammation go down faster.

It's just serous fluid, and isn't a big deal. What they said ^: an antihistamine and maybe some calamine or hydrocortisone ointment to keep from scratching and you'll be fine.

As you get older, sometimes you 'catch' an allergy, or a really mild one gets worse. Don't scratch! :) (I react horribly to insect bites of all kinds, and a month later will still have a red mark.)

Happens to me. Sometimes they're quarter-sized welts, and they itch like the devil. I get some of the normal ones, and some that swell up. Presume it's an allergic reaction to a specific type of mosquito.
