How to Treat a Mosquito Bite (in the Middle of Your Forehead)

Dab a 1 percent hydrocortisone ointment on the bump as soon as you notice it to bring down the inflammation and redness. (If you're willing to pop a pill, an antihistamine, like Zyrtec, will also help reduce swelling.) Once you've treated the bite, cover it as you would a pimple. Here's makeup artist Troy Surratt's strategy:

Use a small synthetic makeup brush to dab creamy concealer over the bite. Brush the concealer up and down and side to side so it blends into the skin.
Pat the concealer with your ring finger a couple of times to remove any excess.
Take a sponge wedge and dab on a translucent powder to set the concealer.
