What Happens After A Mosquito Bite?

I am a 27 year old female and weigh 135lbs. I have a bunch of mosquito bites from a camping trip and am experiencing bruising near or on the bites. some of the bruising isn't even close to a mosquito bite. I am also noticing that my veins are appearing much darker that I have seen them before.

Hi
Wellcome to health care magic.
I am Dr.Muhammad Ahmad and i will be looking into your question,i have read it completely and understand what you are asking,

WHY bruises??
Bodies of people who are regualarly exposed to mosqueto bites dont really show much unusual responce to the bites but people who occasionally get mosquito or any other insect bite can show some mild allergic or inflammatory reaction which can be in any shape swelling,bruises,prominent vessels(a part of this symptom is pychological as well)

Danger? : a very rare number of people get anaphylactic reaction after insect bites which is immediate and a medical emergency but this is not your case, in my opinion your body just showed mild inflammatory responce to the foreigb invador.

What is expected to happen next? In my opinion you body will take control and every thing will be normal in a week or so.

What to do? If i were your treating doctor i eould jave asked you
(1)Not to worry ..
(2)Protect urself from further bite.
(3) Immediately report to dr if u get efever or general body swelling
(4) Use an over the counter anti histamine for 3 days.
(5) Use Tylenol 325 twice daily for three days.


I hope My answer was helpful and comprehensive
