If a baby develops blisters after a mosquito bite, treatment typically includes cleansing the area with soapy water and administering antihistamines. Blisters following insect bites result from an allergic reaction. Mosquito saliva is acidic; rinsing the affected area with alkaline soapy water can help reduce local redness and swelling. If the blister is large and surrounded by significant redness and swelling, oral antihistamines may be given.
