The black marks left by mosquito bites are typically post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation resulting from localized allergic inflammation. These marks usually fade naturally over time, so there’s no need for excessive concern. If you wish to accelerate their fading, topical depigmenting agents may be used. Alternatively, without medication, you can visit a reputable hospital for laser treatment. After laser therapy, strict sun protection is essential.
