Removal of hardened bumps caused by mosquito bites: Small bumps generally require no treatment, but larger ones may need surgical excision. Mosquito bites can lead to localized skin infection, resulting in firm nodules known as dermatofibromas—benign proliferations of collagen fibers. Surgical removal involves local anesthesia, excision of the lesion, and wound closure with sutures. This is a minor procedure, and patients need not be overly concerned.
