A mosquito bit me smack on a stump, right in the middle of a scar, and the entire scar flared up overnight over half its length like I had a chemical burn or something. It happened last week and it’s still red and inflamed.
This scar has been well healed 6 years ago and is normally invisible. The doc says wait and see, but it’s mildly disturbing considering it was a single mosquito 7 days ago.
So beware y’all: your skin might look nice and healthy on your tender bits, but evidently it can still be weak and vulnerable.
It could be. But I’m not allergic to anything nor do I have any autoimmune issues of any kind. The only difference is the location of the bite. It made the scar flare up like it was still healing.
I suppose it could have happened on any scar. It just so happens that I walk on that particular one, so it’s surprisingly inconvenient and more concerning that it has any right to be. Small problems tend to become surprisingly annoying on our special bits and a mosquito bite is a new one for me.
