Answers:
Mine get that way too. They always itch really bad, even when I don't touch them. Once I had on the size of a softball on the back of my calf when I was young, it hurt to walk. My boyfriend hardly get a reaction at all when he gets bit. I can't stand the bites I get. I hate mosquitoes so much! But that's what happens when you have sensitive skin. Some people get them worse than others.

You're just gonna have to use bug spray when you go out, don't use perfumes, as they attract them, buy some cortisone cream and use it frequently on bites. Don't leave outside doors open, or screenless windows. Stay way from bodies of water on humid windless nights.
Mine get like that too. It's not exactly an allergy, you're just more sensitive to the bites than others. Your dr. might be able to give u something for them. In the mean time (this will sound odd but try it anyway) Try putting hand sanitizer (ie: purell) on the bites, takes the itch out & makes the swelling go down some.
try living in arkansas...they're our second state bird, i swear. i use calomine lotion for the itch, or campho-phenique (very good to get rid of them), or ivarest. i think you should put on some bug spray before you go outside again, they seem to love you and they carry bad stuff
you can put on some hydrocortisone or a steroidal cream to lower inflammation. You should also try looking up other anti-inflammatory creams but i think that steroidal cream is the best (Also, it depends on if you are not allergic to the cream) Your body responds normally to a mosquito bite with redness, swelling and inflammation (aka the immune response)
it sounds funny but try taking sulfur, in small amounts per day, and if you are bitten by one until you get some put vinegar on the bites.
it just means that you are sensitive to them. i am like that 2.
