Noticed A Bump Looks Like Rash From A Mosquito Bite
My 5 year old daughter was bit (on the shoulder) by a mequito or other bug this Sunday (March 2) while at a river here in Ga. This morning I noticed it was somewhat inflammed with a bumpy rash around it. I have been applying Benadryl cream 2 times a day but this afternoon the rash has spread from quarter sized to approx half dollar sized. What else do I need to do?

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
She might have got an insect bite.
The signs are suggestive of this.
Apart from benadryl cream a mild steroid and antibiotic cream will also be helpful.
Observe the lesion carefully, if there is increase in size or pus in the lesion, you must meet a doctor.
A photograph would have helped me in giving a closer diagnosis.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
