Is It Normal To Have A Small Bruise And Swollen Area After Being Bitten By A Mosquito?

I've been bitten several times in my life. And have never had a raised red patch and a ball point pen sized bruise. It also is itchy and hurts a little. Is this normal?

    Usually, the mosquito bite does not show any symptoms like red patches and itching. Sometimes, the mosquito sit on dead decaying materials and carry poisons from them and transmit it on bite which can cause redness and itching. There is also possibility that you were not bitten by the mosquito and bitten by some other insect which is causing problems. Apply hydrocortisone on the bite site and take anti allergy tablets or visit to doctor for treatment.
