4 Year Child Having Bump On Leg. Hurts To Touch. Not Cured By Using Cortizon. Any Alternate Solution?
Question: My four year old daughter has a bump on her leg. It is hard when I touch it and she says it hurts when I touch it. I have tried putting alcholl on it but it looks the same, which is a white head, I even put cortizon on it but it is still hard and still has a white head in the middle of it. Please help
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
A hard bump can be a simple folliculitis in the initial stage. Most bumps that hurt are benign in nature.
I would like to get more information from you, to be able to suggest you better. Please do not mind to answer these questions.
1. I would like to know if there was any preceding injury to this bump. How long has it been there?
2. How big is the bump, its dimensions?
3. Is there a discharge from the bump, is it warm to touch and red and angry looking?
4. Is the entire bump just a white head or is there a central dot in the bump?
5. Does she have similar bumps anywhere else on her body?
Please answer these questions.
In addition, is it possible to upload a picture of the same? You have a feature to upload the reports / image by yourself at the right side of the query page, please utilize that so that I can answer your queries better.
Awaiting your response.
