I got three mosquito bites about 4 weeks ago. They were the MOST itchy bites I have ever received. But the strange thing is that they still itch (sometimes VERY itchy) after all this time. They are not itchy all the time, just sometimes. I live in SE Queensland, Australia. Any ideas?

I agree to try benedril - all those little buggers are different and you could have just reacted more to those. If they get worse, make sure to get them checked out. Hope everything is well in The Land Down Under - have a great day!

The more you itch the more likely you are to get them infected and irritated which will cause them to itch more. Pick up some coritizone or anti-itch skin cream. They'd probably have it at a grocery store or pharmacy.
