That happens to my mom to. So you may of mental issues.

You very well might have a hyper-sensitivity. You can take garlic pills to prevent the bites from happening. It may not be mosquite bites. It could be chiggers. Chigger bites get larger because the bug is still actually beneath the skin still biting you. Rub deodorant on the bite. It suffocates the chigger and they die. Then about 15-30 minutes later rub some antibiotic oinment or hydrocortisone cream on the bites. Try to keep the bites clean, sweating is what causes itching as well.
Sure hope they get better soon.
God bless you! :)

Sounds like you are allergic to them, My Brother gets the same way, If he gets bit on the face, his eye swells shut..always use mosquito spray when you go outside.Good Luck well u may need tto go to the doctor because you might be alergic

That is quite strange. You should seek the help of a dermatologist (skin doctor) who should be able to help you figure this out.

that happens to me too. if they itch the only thing i have ever found to help is Lanicane u can get it at the drug store . but i think its just the way ur body reacts to them

You are probably allergic. Try to keep them clean, don't scratch and apply hydrocortisone or calamine lotion until they decrease in size. yes u very allergic, & do require a benadryl shot. ppl who are highly allergic will get them this size.. you don't itch because they didn't leave their stinger in your skin.
ask your physician for allergy meds.

Use salt to rub against your skin and warm water.. it helps for me.. after so I usually apply Dermovate Cream.
