Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

It might be difficult to guess a rash beginning with letter M .;maybe it means measles.
However prescription can always get clarified by calling the doctor.

Since the paediatrician has labeled it as bug bites ,I guess you can relax now.
You could just apply calamine lotion and give the medications as prescribed by the pediatrician .
Bye
Take care.
