How long does it take for a mosquito bite on the eyelid to reduce swelling?

Mosquito bites on eyelids usually subside within 24 hours. Although the eyelid area is relatively thin, it is highly sensitive, so once bitten, the swelling is often more severe. If the skin healing ability is poor, the recovery time may be extended. Some mosquitoes have stronger toxicity and may take 4 to 5 days to gradually subside the swelling.

1. Mosquito bites on eyelids depend on the toxicity of the mosquito, skin sensitivity, and resistance. The swelling will improve in 1-2 days.

2. If the toxicity is strong or the skin is more sensitive, it may take about 4-5 days for the swelling to subside.

3. Some people may experience swelling after being bitten by mosquitoes, accompanied by corresponding secondary infections, which may last for 7-10 days.

1. Use floral water to reduce swelling and itching, which can also act as a mosquito repellent.

2. Rinse the skin surface with salt water or wash it with soapy water to quickly reduce swelling.

3. Applying the juice of lemon, cucumber, or aloe vera to the bitten area can reduce swelling and itching.

4. Applying a cold compress with a towel or gauze can relieve swelling and itching.

5. Avoid scratching, which can easily lead to skin infection. Swollen areas can be treated with hydrocortisone ointment externally to prevent further swelling or skin infection.

6. Applying calamine lotion externally can reduce swelling and itching.
