Mosquito Bite Redness Duration

Post Content

My details: * Age: 34 * Height: 5'7 * Weight: 175 lbs * Gender: Male * No medications * Don't smoke/never have * No current medical issues I got bit by a mosquito 7 times while I was sleeping: * 3 on my back * 2 on my triceps * 2 on my collar bone It must have snuck in, but it's gone now because no one else got bit and I haven't had any new bites The bites were itchy for 2-3 days I did scratch the 2 on my collar bone area My issue is, it's been almost a week now and none of them are going away Symptoms: None; * There's no itchiness anymore * No fever * No swelling, most are almost completely flat * The 2 I scratched feel completely normal/are totally flat, they just have the redness * I don't have any faintness/headaches * Nothing happening to my eyes Basically I don't have any symptoms except for the redness, I'm just worried because of how long it's sticking around and am worried about permanent discoloration or worse
