My daughter has about 4 new, sudden appeared brown spots in her body (shoulder, underarm, back, and stomach). I haven t noticed any unusual behavior but I m certain they appeared overnight because I bathed her last night and she didn t have anything. They are obvious and could not have been missed. Any idea on what it could be? I m definitely calling her pediatrician tomorrow but I m concerned and worried at the moment.
As per your case history, your daughter is suffering from Insect Bite Dermatitis. My treatment advice is:
1. Do not squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition. 2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like Fusiderm cream twice daily on it. 3. Take an antihistamine medication like Levocetirizine twice daily for 7 to 10 days. 4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral steroid taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
