DONT SCRATCH THEM. They'll stay longer and be even more itchy and probably scar.
I had like 30+ on my legs last summer because there was a hole in our house and I'd sit on the computer and they'd just fly in and bite my legs.
I scratched them. I regret.
yeah its pretty scary. You dont know which mosquito is infected.
Mosquitoes are part of the reason why I don't go outside anymore... especially since they carry the ever-prevalent West Nile virus and the new scary Chikungunya virus.
Usually takes about 1~5 days for me. But it may depend on the area on your body and how big the bite is tho.
It usually takes a day or so to fade away.
Probably in the low 20s.
About 13....I was at camp and forgot my netting. I woke up and was itchy all over </3 </3 </3
I did some work in a Haitian refugee village down in the Caribbean
My first night there, I couldn't set up my damn mosquito net so I said whatever and just went to bed. I didn't wear socks because it was too hot..
I woke up with FORTY-EIGHT MOSQUITO BITES on my feet ALONE. I was miserable for days, eventually contracted Staph, and no I don't know how long they take to heal- consider yourself lucky you only have three bahaha

you look like empress cygnus lol
It depends on the severity. The fastest mine took to heal was like 4-6 days. Normally it takes me like 2 weeks or something
My sister got one last August, and it took her a year to recover from one because her bite became a giant black spot and she had to be on anti-biotics.
I've had at least 10+ mosquito bites. I swell like a mother trucker
I dunno, I get quite a few. If it's really bugging you it tends to help if you use your fingernail and press an "X" into it.
I work at a pool/golf/batting cage place and I'm constantly outside so I lost count. about 2 or 3 days if you don't scratch them too much/at all. good luck
Are you scared at all about getting malaria?
I've had about four, if you're allergic to mosquito bites like I am, they'll swell and would leave a dark mark for about 3-5 days.
Try buying Cortizone from your local store to help with the itch
