Hot swollen throbbing ...

[Mintyy]

... patch around mosquito bite on my arm!! (Sorry )

I have always been sensitive to mosquito bites and caught a whopper feasting on me last night. Now I have a very red/angry swollen area about 3 inches in diameter around the bite and my arm actually aches from my elbow down to the wrist. The bite is just above the elbow.

Does it warrant call to NHS or trip to out of hours?

can you draw around the red mark and monitor it's growth?

also, keep an eye on the inside of you arm, look for any redness in the veins

Thank you unchartered. Redness in the veins not good, right?

i would call up about that

Take an antihistamine tablet ASAP if you haven't already

antihistamine asap then call/go to A&E

it doesn't sound good to me - hope you're ok
