Anyone else have this?
Where mosquito bites swell to the size of a tennis ball for a week and leave a bruise that sticks around up to a month afterwards?
Got bit on the eyelid last night and now I look like Rocky Balboa. Any tips to make the swelling stop? Ice pack has helped some. I also took Allegra last night but it evidently didn’t help.

Have you tried Benadryl? It's very safe.
I’m not a fan of Benadryl as it makes me tired and only lasts 8 hours. So I take 24-hour Allegra that is non-drowsy and doesn’t cross the blood-brain barrier.
Yup. I currently have about 5 on my back, that are KILLING me.
I tend to use benadryl for mine. But I notice if I get one on my face, it usually doesn't swell as bad or itch as much. Takes about 24 hours for the huge swelling to go away.

Yes!
Do you have O- blood?
Just curious.
But yes, I get them about 3”x3” bites. I have some skin autoimmune genetic disease thing though so I get rashes and inflammation very easily.
What I do is alternate Lidocaine and Anti-Itch cream and ice a couple times a day.
You can also take Benadryl or an anti-histamine until it goes away.
Typically it goes from normal to swollen in about 3 days and by day 4 it dissipates.
But it’s very painful and hard to the touch and itchy as a mofo.
I have A- blood.
I have some cortisone cream I guess I’ll try applying.

He means safe in that those side effects aren’t going to happen to the majority of people not that those side effects aren’t dangerous.click to expand

Yeah in the scheme of things compared to say cancer chemo drugs that cause a lot of havoc or immunosuppressant drugs that can make you susceptible to other issues, it’s not going to be likely to give people side effects that can cause more harm than good.click to expand
