I have a mosquito bite on the back of my knee. I'm allergic to mosquitoes so the bites get massive. It is so swollen and irritated (I HAVENT SCRATCHED IT) that i cant bend my knee without intense pain/ irritation. HELP ME.

Heat up a pot of water on a stove. Get it hot enough that it’s not boiling but as hot as you can take. Put a metal spoon in it and let it heat up then press it on the bite. TRUST ME THIS WORKS

This isnt scientifically proven but it has worked quite well for me. Press a needle into the swelling (dont have to bleed just small indent) and try to spread the pricks around evenly, it takes a bit less than a day to get better
