After a mosquito bite forms a scab, keep the area clean and avoid frequently touching or picking at it to prevent bacterial infection. If symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, or itching develop around the scab, apply a mild anti-inflammatory or antiallergic ointment locally to relieve discomfort. Keep the scabbed area dry and avoid contact with water or prolonged exposure to moist environments to promote natural shedding of the scab. If the scab persists or is accompanied by other symptoms such as fever or swollen lymph nodes, seek medical attention promptly for proper diagnosis and treatment based on the individual condition.
