How long does a mosquito bite last?

How long will it take for my mosquito bite scar to heal?

• Ive had a mosquito bite scar from a bite i kept scratching forabout 1and a half months.It has been whitish for about 1and a half weeks,how longwill ittake to heal

• Answer:

  Every time you scratched it continued to prevent healing as you well know, so until you literally don't touch it anymore, it will now take quite a few months to totally fail. The bite itself was a tiny tiny hole that the naked eye would find hard to see, so its the area around it that became inflamed more and more each time it itched. Really there is no answer as to how long the scar will take to go away, in fact you may be left with some sort of blemish for the rest of your life because of this, but good factors are, if your young, then the skin heals and replaces itself much faster. But without seeing the scar myself, you could be looking at anything from 3-6 months. Next time, don't scratch it, use a cream that will take the itch away, or keep running it under cold water.
