hello sir, i have an allergy to mosquitoes and if they bite me, i get a lot of itching, and later spots which wont heel for days also, after its gone it leaves a dark spot, one doctor i consulted before said its a rare dermatological condition which occurs on fairer skin people. i desperately need to know the cure, its only on my hands and legs, n i feel embarrassed to wear small sleeve dresses
Dear Shine, This is a normal response to an insect bite, especially mosquitoes, that you get. The response to fiery red ants, wasps and bees may provoke an anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) response but not against mosquitoes. A mild potency steroid cream (dexamethasone) and anti-histamines taken over 3-4 days usually suffices as treatment of skin reactions to mosquito bites in adults. However, if you are getting bruises or dark areas on severe scratching, you need to ensure that you do not have an abnormal platelet number (low) that leads to the bruising. A complete blood count test should tell you the platelet number. Thanks.
