If your not near medical help, I suggest taking Benadryl or some other anti histamine (usually for allergies like hay fever). They have done that to me to on the vein but it could be something else. I would seek medical attention and still take the antihistamine.

Go to your local pharmacy.
Buy insect bite cream.
Apply cream to bite.


Seems obvious to me.

Don't touch it, and wash it with soap. It should go away soon though.

if you are really worrried go to a doctor leave it for a week or more ad if its still like it go to a doctor

It is swelling because it is right on the vain. You shouldn't worry, it will heal just like any other mosquito bite, but it may take a bit longer. I would recomend putting some ice on it for a while to take the swelling down.

Are you sure it's a bite? It could be MRSA. GO to a clinic.

Keep the bite clean and dry. Apply a first aid ointment or cream to the wound, and cover it with a bandage. Leave the bandage on for a couple days, then remove and check the wound, if it is not better, go see your doctor.
