Anyone’s kid allergic to mosquitoes? These popped up all over my daughters legs today and she had had maybe 1-2 mosquito bites. Nothing serious and has had some before but the NP said she thought it was just an allergic reaction. But we don’t know to what or even if the mosquitos. If the meds don’t help I may be getting a second opinion because some of them have opened up and started seeping. Anywho. If your kids are allergic to mosquitos what are the things you have done to help prevent this?! Because it seems like spray doesn’t help much around here. They are relentless.

I'm allergic too, it feels like welts and itches for weeks if I dont do the baking soda trick. Or a little toothpaste if you are in a pinch. And definitely some Allegra/Claritin/etc. Always been this way and I seem to attract them no matter what bug spray I use :-(

Im allergic! I say make a paste out of baking soda and water, apply let dry and should be good if not ik theres a bug bite medicine that helps with it if it dont work for u. Ive done everything only the baking soda has really worked for me and abit of benadryl helps too

My son is 7 and still gets horrible mosquito bites! They scab and take like 2 weeks to fully go away. We do Benadryl itch cream on them right away

My son is allergic to mosquito bites and I'm horrible because we don't do anything, unless he gets a bunch at a time. Even then we usually do over the counter remedies like cortisone or oatmeal baths. He just does his best not to pop them by scratching. They are kind of like large water blisters on him. I just try my best to keep him from getting bites in the first place.

I never knew this was a thing! Crazy. Anything you have found to help lessen it?

I didn’t either until she got a few bites one summer and I had to take her to the doctor. I was so bad I thought a spider bit her. I get the Benadryl cream to help with itching the doctor gives her this steroid ointment that works wonders when she gets a bite. Haven’t found anything to keep her from getting bit yet.

Hers is hard to get a pic of. This isn’t the best one but the coloring in person makes it look like she has a bruise. And this was a bite from weeks ago. 😞

Yes I see it.my sons is way bigger. Hmit should go away. Make sure she doesn't scratch them.

Yeah! I have been trying to cover them and she hasn’t scratched them in front of us but who knows about at night in bed 😂 this is going to be a loooooooooong summer. It’s flooded where we live so mosquitos are awful right now.

Weird! I wonder if it will go away. I can’t imagine having to deal with this every single time they get bitten. 😕 I feel so bad because I can only imagine how much more uncomfortable they are.

Really? Does it kinda look like a bruise? She got a bite like 2 1/2 weeks ago on her cheek right under her eye and now still has a mark there.
