Insect bite on the eye
Bites on the eyes are usually caused by mosquitoes. They can be very unpleasant, because for example the eyelid can be affected and the eye can become completely swollen. In addition, the eyes can water and itch a lot.
The bites on the eye are usually no more dangerous than those on any other part of the body. They are only much more conspicuous and those affected usually suffer from more pronounced symptoms. Because the tissue is very permeable, bruising can also occur.
To reduce the severe itching and swelling, the eye can be cooled. The sting only becomes dangerous when it becomes inflamed. Then, as with all inflamed mosquito bites, a doctor should be consulted as soon as possible.
The insect bite still itches after weeks
Long itching of a mosquito bite can have two causes. On the one hand, it is possible that an allergic reaction is the cause and thus leads to a longer lasting reaction. On the other hand, scratching the mosquito bite can lead to a prolonged reaction to the bite, as bacteria can penetrate, for example.
The blackfly is also a trigger for long itching because it rips open the skin and leads to a small, long itching bruise. An inflammation of mosquito bites can be caused by an infection, for example. The scratching of bites is mainly responsible for the penetration of pathogens.Here you will get to the topic: Inflammation of insect bitesMosquito bites are usually accompanied by itching and swelling.
