What are some effective methods for treating mosquito bites?
Disease description:
My friend is 21 years old and was recently bitten by a mosquito. The bite has not healed for some time, and we would like to know what are the effective methods for treating insect bites.

To deal with mosquito bites, comprehensive protective measures can be taken to effectively reduce the nuisance caused by bites.
1. Keep the living environment clean, regularly remove standing water to prevent mosquito breeding, and use physical barriers such as mosquito nets and window screens to keep mosquitoes out of indoor areas.
2. When going outdoors, wear long-sleeved clothing and long pants as much as possible to reduce exposed skin area. Apply insect repellents containing effective ingredients such as DEET or icaridin on exposed skin, following the product instructions carefully and avoiding excessive or frequent use.
3. Avoid visiting grassy areas, woods, or other mosquito-prone locations during dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active, to reduce the chance of being bitten.
If bitten, immediately wash the affected area with soap and water, and apply calamine lotion, cooling oil, or similar products to relieve itching and swelling. Seek medical attention if symptoms are severe.
