Everyone deals with mosquito bites at some point. They can be extremely irritating, but in the vast majority of cases, they’re not dangerous.

Bites can appear anywhere from a few minutes to a day afterward. At first, the bite will resemble a raised white welt; it will reduce to a red bump in a day or so. To alleviate the immediate itching, apply an ice pack and over-the-counter ointment.Â
