3 Year Old Has A Red Welt On Tummy
My 3 year old has a red welt on his tummy. It is oval shaped and he has had it for a few days. It is slightly raised and he does not seem to be itching it. He is currently on antiboitics for a sinus infection too.

Hello Elizabeth;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
If your child has a red welt or a patch which is raised it can be a sort of skin infection and to differentiate it you need to consult his doctor.It can be just a plain rash due to inflammation or a skin infection like ringworm;or any bacterial or fungal infection.Please consult the doctor and get treated.
Thanks
