Suggest Treatment For A Red Bump On Cheeks

default
Posted on Thu, 23 Jun 2016
Question: My two year old granddaughter has a red bump on her cheek that looks like an insect bite. We are trying to figure out what may have bitten her. However, I can not find an image online that looks similar. The images online of bites from ticks, chiggers, ants, fleas, bed bugs, mosquitoes, scabies, lice and spiders don't look the one she has.
