Small Red Bumps Like Insect Bites In Arms, Legs And Stomach. No Relief With Topical Steroid And Antibiotics
My 13 y/o daughter started having these small red bumps, looked like insects bites on her arm, then it spread to her upper leg and stomach. It developed little scabs in the center, got redder and bigger, then other little ones show up. Doctors could not identify it and started the treatment with anti histamine & tropical steroid ointment. when it didn't get better, they started her on antibiotics. What is it?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your daughter the chances of viral infection is just likely, now you do just nothing this will get alright without any treatment, steroid will flair up the lesion, just keep the area clean, it will be fine soon take care and have nice day. (At the most you can apply Gentian violet )
