default
Posted on Fri, 5 Sep 2014
Question: My daughter got what looked like a small bite on her upper thigh about 6 days ago. It began peeling around that site and now is peeling in 2 other areas nearby. All about 1/2 inch apart. It seems to be a bit swollen in the area and more small bumps are starting to form. The peeling areas are about 3/4 inch by 1/2 inch.

Hello,

Welcome to healthcare magic.

I understand from your query that your daughter is having skin lesions on her thigh.

Could you let me know if it is associated with itching or pain?

Does she have any fever?

Do any other close contacts have similar lesions?
