  2. Treat it with rubbing alcohol

  3. it can not spread and try puttting bare ice on them and lotion

  4. no it cnt but try using rubbing alcohol and do not touch it at all just make sure tha every time it begins to irritate u that ur disinfect it  

  5. theoritically it is possible, but there is not a single documented case of infectious disease transmitted by mosquito bites from person to person todate.  as far as pus coming out of your mosquito bites, i think you got bacterial infection of the wound.  you need to clean it and apply anitbiotic ointment now and if it gets worse, you need to see a doctor.

    for itching, try the following immediately after a mosquito bite-apply heat-around 140-150 F - to the bite, this will denature the protein in mosquito saliva theoritically, and then apply baking soda which will neutralize the acid in mosquito saliva, again theory.  aleo vera also works.  antihistamine and steroid cream may help too.  

  6. Mosquito bites aren't infectious disease. They can't be passed to other people.

    Your bites are obviously infected. Try Calamine lotion, Chamomile lotion or vinegar.

    If relief doesn't come in few hours, visit the dermatologist.

  7. no mosquito bites can not be spread to other people. the red itchy bump is caused by the bite itself.

    yes it is bad that puss is coming out, this means its infected. scrub it with antibacterial soap, and DON'T SCRATCH IT no matter how bad it itches.

    there really isn't a treatment for a mosquito bite, there are some things you can put on it to help sooth the itching like hydrocortizone cream.

    the best thing for mosquito bites is to prevent them. try to stay inside between dusk and dawn, don't leave stagnant water sitting outside anywhere this is where they bread, if you have to be outside during the evening use bug spray

  8. Okay this may kinda sound stupid but to stop the itching put an x on the bite with your nail. It works for me. Mosquito bites go away afterawhile. YOu just have to wait
