My 2 year old son has seemed to be bitten by something multiple times on his back and belly, but mainly on his neck. These bites look like mosquito bites or welts with black area around where bitten. Kinda looks likr a stinger bit not positive. Any ideas of what this is or how to get rid of them?

Hi
Welcome to the HCM
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. But don't worry. Many a times due to allergic reaction of our body with release of histamines, such reactions can appear. Although it's very difficult for anyone to tell the name of insect responsible by looking at the lesions. The treatment remains almost same.
You need to apply Lactocalamine lotion over the skin lesions 3-4 times daily to help in early healing and reduce irritation.
If the child is restless due to itching or irritation, you may give him an antihistamine such as Syp. Benadryl or Chlorpheniramine.
Trim his nails at the same time.
Hopefully this will help. I would be happy to help you in future for any queries.
Take care
