Mosquito Bite or Skin Infection?

Know When to Get Checked

Summer evenings often mean spending more time outdoors, which also means more mosquito bites. Most bites improve within a few days with simple home care, but occasionally a bite may become increasingly red, swollen, painful, or irritated. Knowing when a normal reaction may need medical evaluation can help you seek care before symptoms worsen.

While many insect bites heal on their own, persistent or worsening symptoms deserve attention, especially if the affected area continues to expand or becomes increasingly uncomfortable.

Common symptoms may include:

• Redness around the bite
• Itching
• Mild swelling
• Tenderness
• Warm skin near the bite
• Increasing irritation over several days
