Small Child, Hard Bump On Leg, Redness, Itching, Black Crust. Causes For Symptoms?
My son is 3 years old and occasionally gets a hard bump on this leg which is little red in color and very very itchy. I don t think it is a insect bite cause he would sometimes get these in the morning or at night. After few days it will develope a little black crust and will go away.His doc suspected Eczema but wante a second opinion.

I agree with your doctor. The history suggests It could be eczema. The child scraches it due to iching as a result it
becomes infected.This is called impetgo. That is why it forms scab. You should see your
doctor to have him treatment for eczema. Kindrst regards Dr. S.K.Mukherjee.
