Brief Answer: Insect bites are common Detailed Answer: Hi, Sounds to be insect bite if it is localized. If you are son is over 10 yrs age you can apply DISPRIN paste to the area unless allergic to it. If he is younger you can just give him a MOTRIN dose and apply CALADRYL lotion. Wait for a day to subside before you see him at the local doctor
