Hello and welcome.
Infants have very sensitive skin and most of them react badly to mosquito bites. The best measures would be to prevent the mosquito bites. Make sure you make your baby wear clothes that cover his/her body completely, apply the available mosquito repellents in the market (E.g. promos), use mosquito repellant liquidizers at home, mosquito nets on the windows and doors, and around his crib or bed.
For the skin right now, use a cold cream and/calamine lotion and that's about it.
Best wishes.
