What Causes Knots On Head After Mosquito Bite In Toddler?
my 2 year old son was at my boyfriends house the other day and when I picked him up he had a bump on his head they had told me that he had been bitten by a mosquito but I thought that he fell and they didn t realize but when we were out side today he got bitten by many mosquitos and he has knots all over his head and im sure he did not fall at all today. the bites were red at first but now they are just huge knots on his head, why does the mosquito bites do that? what should I do?

Hi, some kids have severe reactions to mosquito bites. They do get these huge bumps.
You would have to protect your son with mosquito repellants. This is the only way out. If he has severe itching then you might have to rush to your doctor.
Otherwise just use some calamine based lotion to give it a soothing effect.
