Why do mosquito bites itch?

Mosquito bites are itchy because of how your body reacts to the mosquito bite itself. The bites swell and itch because your body is having a very mild allergic reaction to the mosquito’s saliva. As the blood vessels around the bitten area begin to swell, the nerves become irritated. To combat the anticoagulant delivered by the mosquito's saliva, your body releases a histamine, making the area around the bite inflamed and itchy.

The mosquito's proboscis is sharp at the end with parts that can quickly pierce the skin. When the mosquito lands, her senses allow her to find just the right spot to pierce the skin and access the blood. The mosquito then injects saliva that prevents clotting and numbs the area so you don't feel the bite, allowing the mosquito to feed undisturbed. When mosquitoes fly away, they leave behind saliva that prevents clotting and anesthetizes the area. This is where your body takes over. It sees the mosquito saliva as a foreign substance and attacks those substances, leading to an allergic reaction.
