Reply to comment by Oudeis16 in LPT: use hot water to kill mosquito bites by diavolo_bossu

I mean not really. If you were truly denaturing proteins injected by the mosquito, you'd also destroy your own proteins and cause a shitload of damage to the skin.

I don't know if it destroys the insect proteins, but it does work to reduce swelling.

You do need to be careful though, the shitload of damage you mentioned is a danger if you use fire.
