The first thing you need to do in your case is determine that what you are suffering from is actually a mosquito bite. Your description does not sound like a mosquito bite at all. In case you are certain, I would advise you to go to a doctor and get this check out at once.
This is because the first thing you have to do is eliminate malaria or dengue, which is a very real possibility for people who are suffering from mosquito bites. Of course, if you have been fidgeting with the bite and this is the reason it has become sore and red and hard, then it is a different matter altogether. But it is advisable that you actually get a blood test done in order to determine what this bite exactly is.
If you are suffering from something infectious, then the best course of action for you to follow would be to instantly apply a paste of turmeric powder and rose water to it.

The discoloration will also be taken care of quite easily and fast. In order to take care of any and all insect bites, one of the best things to apply is a crushed betel leaf to the area. This can be found fresh in Indian grocery stores. It is commonly and cheaply available. You can also apply coconut oil to the sting. This will also help tremendously with healing it. A tried and tested method to ease insect bites is to rub a dull rusted blade on it. This is supposed to help with healing as well as soothing.
