Question:
how do i cure an infected mosquito bite

Answers:
Soak it, wash it twice a day, don't let it get a scab on it. Between washings, put neosporin ointment on it.
I know this is a weird answer but it works. Mix a little turmeric powder with vinegar and water and apply it as often as you wish. (3 or 4 times a day is a good bet.) Unless ofcourse, its an open and infested wound (because you've scratched it and made it worse), then you'd better see a doctor.
Are you sure it is a mosquito bite and not a spider bite? If it is red, raised and swollen and this area continues to become enlarged it may be cellulitus, an infection that occurs deep in the skin and requires antibiotics.
If it is on the surface open and weeping, clean it with peroxide and apply an topical antibacterial like Neosporin, Bacitricin.
Apply Agua Oxynada, in circular motion, then apply Betadine antiseptic solution, then put a square dressing fastened by dressing tape that is it. Drink lots of water.
