Back from vacation on beach in Belize. Many bites on lower legs from what I thought were mosquitos. One week later, it seems as though there are more and the itch continues.

You can apply a balsam that contains corticosteroid to the bites, which may need to be perscribed by a dermatologist. A balsam can help ease the condition but you will need expert help to diagnose exactly what is irritating your skin.
