For the first lot, only the fifth one is grammatically correct.
Mozzies don't kiss though, they bite.
So you'd say:
"You've got to get used to being bitten by mosquitoes."
For the next bunch, both B and C are correct (aside from the incorrect spelling of "started").

For the one with numbers, number 5 is correct. For the second one, B is the most correct however I would change it to "I've got to get started with taking care of my skin."

In America mosquitoes do not kiss they bite. Besides a kiss being a kiss some people will use the phrase "sun kiss". This referes to your skin getting a little red but not burnt after being in the sun for a while.
These would be native sentences.
You've got to get used to mosquito bites.
You've got to get used to being bitten by mosquitoes.
I have to start caring for my skin.
I have got to start caring for my skin.
