Insect bite

Mummies, any idea what insect bite is this and how to treat it? My 2 yo girl got it from childcare a few times already but this time is especially bad. Doesn't look like normal mosquito bite as it is very swollen and hard to touch, now her entire leg is slightly swollen. It is also very itchy and she keeps scratching it. I have applied mosquito repellent lotion and used mosquito patches on her every day before sending her to childcare but she still got it.

I think it is a mosquito bite. my boy had this a few times from different places, in school and sometimes near our home. He just gets a very bad reaction from bites. You can try MyLO itch relief patch from shopee. It helps to reduce the size of the wound. And you can also get those itch relief foam from PD if it gets very itchy. for my boy, this usually takes about 1 to 2 weeks to heal. As for prevention, maybe request for her teacher to reapply the repellent every few hours.
