If a mosquito bite on a baby's face is treated promptly, it will not leave a scar. If it is simply a mosquito bite without infection, it will not leave a scar either. However, if not treated timely, a baby's delicate skin may become infected, which can easily lead to scarring. When a baby is bitten by insects, the first step is to relieve the itching to prevent scratching. You can apply flower dew water to alleviate the itch.
