Could Red Dots And Small Bruise On Top Of Foot Be Scorpion Sting?
yes barely moved to Arizona and our son was swimming in our back yard inflatable pool when he said ouch and cried like his foot hurt. He is only 17 months and can not explain what hurt him , but I m worried it could have been a scorpian. he has two red dots and a small bruise on top of his foot. What does a scorpian sting look like?

It is probably not a scorpian bite. Because if scorpian bites, it cause pain like hell. since he cries only it is not a scorpian bite. Chances of snake of water origin is there. but you do not worry because most of the water snake is not poisonus. but as a precution you should give them steroid and cetrizine. also do not forget to bring him to doctors. because visual examination tells a much truth than the written words.
