Child Has Raised Bumps On Arm. Should I Take Her To Doctor?

my daughter has 2 raised red bumps n her arm - looks like their are bites or stings - 2 in the large one and 1 in the smaller one. She fell asleep - it seemed fine but when i went in to check on her her hand and her arm were red. I think it was because she was sleeping on her upper arm and it cut of her circulation but I am wondering if I should take her to the ER

Hi

I think the rash is spreading. It can be due to insect bite or it maybe because of subcutaneous bacterial infection. It is better to get her evaluated by a physician. Until you see a physician, you may give her one dose of anti-allergic drops for now.
