David48 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Are you sure they are 'red'? I've seen heaps of kids with a darker 'brown' spot which does last some time from the mosquito bites ... usually on their legs. But speaking as a soon to be Father (me) ... if you are worried, do drop by the clinic. But personally, if they are brown, not red ... I wouldn't be too worried. The Mod Sheryl is a Nurse and very approachable ... maybe run it past her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGJIMMY Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 no they are red, the left over spot from a mossy bite, i'm sure that'll fade with time and as he grows but if we could get rid of them like with any normal bit then that would be better. Thanks for the replies. Jimmy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holeyman1 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Remember to take plenty of fluids to flush out the toxins. Mosquitos larvae are commonly found in stagnant water. Damp places are also a haven so please have them checked! Best regards keyboard warrior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozsamurai Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) To weigh in on this for you all, the best, cheapest mozzie repellent is one you can easily make yourself. Recipe 500ml Rubbing Alcohol 100g Whole Cloves 100ml Baby Oil (coconut, or whatever takes your fancy) put the 100g of cloves into an airtight container with the alcohol, everyday shake it a couple of times a day for a week. Strain out the cloves and add the oil to the mix. Shake well before use to re-mx the oil as it will separate. Natural, smells good, works a charm.

EyesWideOpen Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 My half Thai daughter is the same. After a mosquito bite, there will be a brown spot for a long time, guess it has something to do with the pigment in her skin. I used to work in rural Alaska where the level of mosquitoes was like something out of a horror film. So many and so vicious had to use pure Deet to stop them. But not good for you... I have never tried any of home remedies here but may in the future. But one important thing is to not smash them into your skin..... The proboscis is buried into your skin, and if you smash them it will stay in your skin and create more irritation. Just gently brush them away. There is a million more to take their place, killing one does not help... :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
