What Causes Recurrent Red Bumps On A Different Area Each Time?
My daughter, seven years old, has been getting red bumps on different areas of her body, mostly torso and legs that look like small mosquito bites but they do not itch her. She has not had a fever and they are not painful. However she breaks out in one area with several, and by the time those start to fade she breaks out in another area. They tend to break out in a localized area then move to another part of her body.

Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of recurrent red bumps which seems to be due to folliculitis and it could be due to contact dermatitis.
Need not to worry. You should avoid touching or pricking bumps. I would suggest you to apply topical antibacterial ointment. You should wear loose clothes and avoid sharing them with anyone. You should apply betnovate ointment on them 2-3 times a day. You should take course of oral antibiotics. Visit dermatologist once if symptoms keeps on persisting. Start treatment after complete examination and proper prescription.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
