Brief Answer: Not bed bugs , more details please Detailed Answer: Hi, I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope to help you in the same. Now according to your description, the skin lesions are totally asymptomatic in bottle, which means that there is no associated itching or pain, so this basically rules out bed bugs.

Since when does she have these? Is there on associated itching or discomfort? Are there red or violet in color? Are these oval in shape or square only? Size of the lesions?

I am sure that I would be able to help you more once you follow up with the pictures and other details. Waiting for your response Dr Geetika Paul MD (Dermatology)

Brief Answer: Impetigo of skin : Topical antibiotics required Detailed Answer: Hi, I have seen the attached pictures. The lesions look like circinate impetigo. Now this is essentially an infective skin condition which is caused by bacteria. It is seen mostly in children. It initially starts as a single lesion, then due to scratching or touching, the fluid in the lesion leads to development of more lesions. Now firstly , all the lesions should be cleaned daily with lukewarm saline XXXXXXX This should be followed by application of an antibiotic cream like neosporin or mupirocin twice a day. Do not apply any other creams or moisturizers over the affected area. Year cotton clothes so as to avoid any irritation over the lesions. As much as possible, touching of the lesions should be avoided. Hope it helps, Dr Geetika Paul MD( DERMATOLOGY)
