Are mosquito bites generally warmer then normal skin temperature?


I was outside for a few hours two days ago; and I got quite a few mosquito bites. They all seem normal; except for this one on my arm. It's swelling larger then what appears basic, and the skin there is very warm.

Is this a mosquito bite; or could it be something different?

Yes. As histamine is released and white blood cells rush to the injury/irritation, inflammation (swelling) occurs. The increased activity in the localized area causes a slightly higher temperature.

However, if your bite is larger than the others and not healing well, it could be something else. Give it another day or so and put a call in to the doctor. If it gets any worse, go to the ER.
