    Mosquito bites:(
    How long do mosquito bites take to go away, and or, how can I make them go away more quick?
    I've got very very big mosquito bites(dime size) is that normal?

    Nah j/k... dood.. your cool just get some meds... and masquito bites don't really have a set time to go away... they just do over time... but to get them to go away more quick, go get some over the counter meds for it... works wonders dood..

    Yes that is completely normal for a mosquito bite but don't scratch it too much, this could cause infintigo. Putting clear finger nail polish over the bite and using itch creams is what my mother always did. They will go away in a few days usually, if they are left alone!

    I found that taking oral Benadryl and applying Benadryl cream controlled the itching and swelling for my family.
    Usually the bites will stop bothering us after 12 hours for the smaller sized bites and up to 48 hours for the larger ones you're speaking of.
    Good luck to you, I know the itching is very annoying and uncomfortable.

    I've always heard that masquito bite remedies work on different people differently via their gene pool, is this true?

    HEY PPL!
    I have really bad bites ALL over my legs! Im a cheerleader so I need them to go away FAST! I went to the doctor and she said I have staff.. apparently if they are bigger than a normal bite they are infected! Mine are like.. the size of a quarter... they are DISGUSTING!
    So I have this cream she gave me, and a giant horse pill I have to take 3 times a day!
    She told me to run a bath (as hot as you can stand it) and just soak and that will get any infection out, taking a benadrill will keep it from itching, and neosporen will make the bites go away.. that's if they are not infected. But if they are that big you might want to go to the doctor!
