You'll live...Get some Lanacane for the itching and benadryl for any possible allergic reaction you may/might be having to the bite. If it continues to swell and hurt for more than a couple of days see your DOC. PEACE!

you might be allergic to them! My sis was and bites would be like the size of a baseball on her! If it is huge like that and you are sure it's a mosquito bite and NOT something else, just put some calmine lotion on it and take a benedryl.

Mosquito bites are usually not that huge and don't hurt, they itch. Get to a doctor, it could be a spider bite.

You should assess the bite. Do you have other symptoms (e.g., fever, extreme fatigue, head and body aches, skin rashes, and/or swollen lymph glands). Symptoms don't develop immediately (ususally 3- 14 days after the bite). Otherwise, don't itch!

Try cleaning it with soap and water and scrubbing with a washcloth. Rinse well, pat dry. Wipe with rubbing alcohol. Apply hydrocortisone cream.
If it seems to spread, gets worse instead of better, or if you run a fever at all, head to your physician as soon as possible.

I have huge Campho-Phenique and that helps a lot (not a nice smell, though.)
Clear nail polish works well to take out the itch temporarily, too

put some Calamyn on it to relieve the itching. if it is really big and hurts then maybe u should get it checked out.. it could be some type of infection or something...

is it possible that this might be a spider bite....if you have had it for more then two days I would think that is what bit you...go see a doctor

you sure you don't have infection ?
typically they are just an irritant. not "painful" or swollen
elevation, ice ( on and off)
seek medical care if not better in a day or two.
