Answer:

When a mosquito bites you, it pierces the skin using a special mouthpart (proboscis) to suck up blood. As the mosquito is feeding, it injects saliva into your skin. Your body reacts to the saliva resulting in a bump and itching.

Some people have only a mild reaction to a bite or bites. Other people react more strongly, and a large area of swelling, soreness, and redness can occur.

Mosquito bite signs include:

A puffy and reddish bump appearing a few minutes after the bite

A hard, itchy, reddish-brown bump, or multiple bumps appearing a day or so after the bite or bites

Small blisters instead of hard bumps

Dark spots that look like bruises
