What Causes Red, Itchy, Swollen And Oozing Sores On The Posterior Calf?

My wife just returned from Columbia where she was bitten by a mosquito on her posterior calf roughly 36 hours ago. It is mildly itchy, red, swollen and has 3-4 oozing sores about .75cm in diameter each. Since it's still in the acute phase, would ice to reduce the inflammation be helpful or harmful?
