Well, I don't know what kind of mosquitoes they were but three of those bites (where I scratched the most) have kind of broke out and made giant bruises on my leg. Fucking nasty...
I don't want to be alarmist, but I have had this twice before ... worst in France. This is no bruise ... this is a bacterial infection. Put your hand on it and it will feel very warm. Left un-checked, in a tropical climate ... you are likely to be in for a miserable time.

The best thing to sort this out is Flucloxacillin (antibiotic). 5 to 7 days treatment for this will sort it out. Failing that, you need some strong anti-bacterial cream / liquid. The orally taken Flucloxacillin will be far more effective though.

Hope it helps.
