What Causes Red Itchy Rash On The Legs?
My 4 year old daughter has bites that we believe to be mosquito bites on her legs. (about 4 bites) She has been complaining of itching & we have been applying hydrocortisone cream a few times per day. I noticed tonight that two of the bites (& one in particular) have a large (2-3 inch) reddened area around them & one has a defined white border around the red. Does this seem like a reason for concern?

Hi,
It seems that there might be having allergic reaction to some insect bite producing itchy rash and bumps.
Give her Benadryl or Cetrizine syrup for 2-3 days.
Ok and take care.
