What Causes A Swollen Red Rash With Blister At Its Center?
Hello, My son just complained about a small bite mark on his upper arm. What I see; is the bite is red and swollen it has a little blister in the center and is warm to the touch. The skin is raised in a circle. We were outside for about one hour, and that was one hour ago.
As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
