Small Red Sores On Abdomen With Pus, Dried After Applying Benadryl, Worse After Sun Exposure, No Fever Or Discomfort. Advice?
My son has suddenly developed small red sores like a small mosquito bite with white. white pustuals at the center/tip, almost like a pimple . There are about 8 of them scattered randomly on his abdomin. He said they itched at first but when he tried to scratch them they hurt. They also hurt when his tshirt rubs against them. I put benedryl on them and they appeared to dry up, but he was playing in the sun and pool. Tonight they look worse. They started 2 days ago. They are not bites. No fever or real discomfort. Any ideas?

Hello,
Thanks for writing here.
It seems your child is having prurigo.It is a kind of skin allergy which is common in children.
Continue with benadryl.You need to apply a steroid antiboitic combination like fucibet over the lesions.
In case if lesion does not resolve it will be better to meet a dermatologist.
Hope this will help you.Take care.
