What Causes A Boil On The Back Of A Child?
We have a 5 month old boy who has developed what appears to be a boil in a location on his back where there was thought to be a birth mark. What we see is a circular red area with a head in the center that appears to contain clear liquid (vs creamy looking). Should we be concerned, and how should we treat this?

Could be insect bite or hemangioma. Attach some pictures of the skin lesion for proper diagnosis and advise.
