What should I do if the sole of my foot is bitten by a mosquito?
Disease description:
The sole of my foot was bitten by a mosquito the day before yesterday. However, because the foot sole is poorly ventilated, the bite has still not healed, and walking is uncomfortable. I would like to consult on how to treat a mosquito bite on the sole of the foot.

A mosquito bite on the sole of a patient’s foot can typically be managed with medications and wearing sandals, among other measures. After being bitten by a mosquito, patients may be treated with antihistamines and topical agents—such as ebastine tablets, cetirizine syrup, or loratadine granules. Calamine lotion may be applied to cleanse the affected area. During treatment, patients should wear sandals and avoid other types of footwear that could cause persistent friction on the affected site.
