I got bitten by a mosquito yesterday on my forearm and about 30 minutes after it happened, I noticed it had swollen up to about 2/3's the size of my forearm. It was also turning kind of purple. When I woke up this morning the size had decreased, and it was normal colored, but it started itching and it was hot to touch. Throughout the day it swelled up again, and it is back to covering about 2/3's of my forearm again. Does anyone know what is going on? Should I be worried?
I read somewhere that after people get bitten by mosquitoes a lot they can become immune, but they can also start getting allergic reactions, and I have gotten quite a few mosquito bites lately so I think that might be it. So does anyone know if that could be the case?
