I was bitten by a mosquito 24h ago. My hand got swollen, red, and itchy. The swelling is spreading to my wrist and the bones near the bite area hurt.

This description sounds like an exaggerated allergic reaction to the insect bite . An oral anti histamine and a topical antibiotic cream may be indicated, but this cannot be determined without direct examination of the affected area. I also advise you to draw a marking line around the area of the redness in order to keep track of its progression. If the area is expanding too fast and large, this means that the deeper layers of the skin are affected (cellulitis) and an oral antibiotic becomes required.
