Is it normal for mosquito bites to go away in a few hours?

I have had this ever since I was little. Mosquitos have always been attracted to me (especially my legs) and I get multiple bites pretty much every day. I would say that it's one of the most annoying things ever, except whenever I get a bite, it typically stops itching within 15-20 minuets and COMPLETELY disappear within 1-2 hours. My family have no idea why this happenes, and neither do my friends. Also the bites I get tend to get really big and itches like crazy! I've done some research and found out that mosquito bites can last anywhere from 24 hours to 5 days. I don't know what I would do if they lasted that long. Is it normal?

    the reaction to the bite is due to foreign substances that diffuse away with time

    You probably have just developed skin that is able to fight those off easily considering you get so many. I get like 3 spider bites every night in my sleep, and when I wake up and see them, they are gone by the end of the day

    Normal. Everyone's reaction to bites is different. There are some people who have quicker recovery times than you and some aren't affected by mosquito bites at all. They're pretty lucky and so are you.

    Pretty sure the irritation is caused by the anticoagulant the mosquito injects, which then causes you to itch. Once they both subside there is no cause for irritation and the "bite" goes away cause it isn't really a bite. So yep I would say pretty Normal.
