Hi,

Mosquito bites have not intense itch. According to your history, lesions are more on thighs, hands, waist and umbilical area more favour to SCABETIC lesions. Itch- mite causing these lesions.

These are intense itch and more in night times. This condition called SCABIES. Treatment;

Personal hygiene; Night application of PERMETHRIN lotion for 3 successive nights from neck to toe after hot scrub bath by Permethrin soap.

Tab antihistamines to combat the itching. Tab IVERMECTIN 12 mg weekly once for three weeks. Hydrocortisone cream on scabetic lesions.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
