In general, I believe that mosquito bites are not usually that big.. I have however had some pretty big ones like that myself.. I would get some after bite medicine and put on it to stop the itching.. It may be that big because you are itching it.. You should be fine after a week.. If it doesn't go down after a week, I would seek go to your doctor..Health Question & Answer
If it gets super itchy, and swells realy large, it's probably because your allergic.. My Dr.. told me to run hot water over the area [as hot as you can stand it] and then put a hot rag on it.. It takes away the itching and makes the swelling go down.. also some cortisone cream would help! :)Health Question & Answer
