I got some mosquitos bite both my legs, because I didn't put on a insect repellent spray when I went to a zoo yesterday.
I scratched my legs while I was sleeping. My left thigh is the most itch in my legs and it swells too much.
I put a medical cream on it and I endure to scratch it.

いたい！Don't forget your insect repellent next time!
A few notes:
* "a" versus "an" - We use "a" before consonant sounds, and "an" before vowel sounds. But this is very tricky, because sometimes a word begins with a vowel, but it's pronounced as a consonant (like "university" "union" and "eucalyptus," which all start with the ユ sound), and sometimes a word begins with a consonant but it sounds like a vowel ("herbal" and "honest" in which the "H" is silent - in America, anyway).
A good trick for Japanese speakers: if you wrote the word in katakana (and spelled it exactly how English speakers pronounce it), words beginning with ア、イ、ウ、エ、or オ, then you would use "an" and all words beginning with any other sound would have "a."
** We often use "the" in front of places, even if the listener doesn't know exactly which place. So you would say, "I'm going to the store" or "I'm going to the Post Office" even if there are many different stores or post offices. (In the US we say "going to the hospital" but in England, it's "going to hospital").
*** What you said was fine. And to tell the truth, "itchiest" is probably not even a real word. But in conversation, it would sound natural and everyone would understand.
**** With "endure," you are putting emphasis on the suffering. With "try not to" you are emphasizing the effort and will-power. I think that is what you meant.

I got some mosquito bites on both my legs because I didn't put on insect repellent spray when I went to a (the) zoo yesterday.While I was sleeping I scratched my legs. My left thigh is the most itchiest part of my legs and it has swelled a lot.
I put medicinal cream on it and I am trying not to scratch it.
***Hope you fell better! Mosquito bites are annoying!
