When the mosquito drinks blood, she injects an anticoagulant to keep the blood from clotting. The anticoagulant, like all foreign proteins, activates the immune system. This causes a local allergic reaction around the bite.
Only female mosquitoes drink the blood of humans and other animals to develop her eggs properly before they are laid. Male mosquitoes feed on fruits and plant juices.
The answer is, since these bites can bring malaria and other diseases, we have evolved to react to the bite by itching.
It has something to do with the Enzymes in the Mosquito's salivary glands which are secreted from the Proboscis ( What punctures the skin) of the Mosquito which is deposited under the skin after they puncture it, this then causes an irritation which results in the itching sensation.
Mosquito bites itch because the mosquito injects an anticoagulant (stops blood from clotting) called histimine so that the blood that it sucks from you, or whatever other animal it's feeding on, doesn't clot and kill it. The histimine causes the swelling and itch near the bite site. Scratching the site actually worsens the itch and swelling, so resist the urge, no matter what.
Some people find that taking an anti-histimine (found in most allergy pills) is very effective in reducing the itch and swelling. There are also "After Bite" products commercially available (often composed mostly of ammonia). However, the best medicine is, as always, prevention. Learn how to prevent the bites and what you don't get, won't itch.
it itches because after the bite, the mosquito leaves saliva into the wound that will make immune system to react with histamine that will make your wound swell . But ignore itching it beause the more you itch the more you will itch.
When mosquitoes withdraw your blood, they inject an anticoagulant into you at the site of the bite in order that your blood won't clot while they are drinking it. The anticoagulant causes the itching.
When a mosquito punctures the skin, she releases a small amount of her saliva into the wound. The immune system reacts by releasing histamine, which causes the blood vessels around the puncture to swell. This causes the red bump. The swelling can irritate the nerve endings in that area, resulting in an itchy sensation.

Mosquitoes inject an anticoagulant into your blood so that it will not clot while they are drinking it. The anticoagulant causes an allergic reaction, which causes itching.
Because the host's immunitary system attacks substances contained in the mosquito's saliva, releasing histamine, which causes ithc.
