Mikey,
Chances are the bites on your ankles are actually chiggers and not mosquitoes.

Chigger bites are really itchy and last much longer than mosquito bites. The chiggers are tiny red bugs about the size of a pin head and are in the grass.

Dab ammonia on them or use After-Bite for relief of the itching.
