The mosquito bite area gets bigger because the toxin injected starts to spread and involve a larger region.

When you scratch your skin, it aggravates it, causing swelling. It really doesn't have much to do with the original bite. Even if there was nothing there, and you scratched your skin really hard, it would swell up a little. Histamine, as mentioned in one of the other answers, would only be involved if you were allergic to the bite.
