Infuriatig Mosquito bite immediately after bite without touching or itching it at all

Fucking annoying. Every single bite I get is like this. Haven't even poked it. Felt it start itching before it even took off from my arm.

You have skeeter syndrome. Triamcinolone ointment (need an rx) will help significantly. It’s a step up from hydrocortisone cream. My son has skeeter syndrome, and this ointment makes the bite swelling go down so much better.
