A mosquito bit me smack on a stump, right in the middle of a scar, and the entire scar flared up overnight over half its length like I had a chemical burn or something. It happened last week and it’s still red and inflamed.

This scar has been well healed 6 years ago and is normally invisible. The doc says wait and see, but it’s mildly disturbing considering it was a single mosquito 7 days ago.

So beware y’all: your skin might look nice and healthy on your tender bits, but evidently it can still be weak and vulnerable.
