What Treatment To Be Taken For Quarter Sized Bruise Like Spots?

My 10 year old son woke up 3 days ago with quarter sized bruise like spots just above the breast on both sides. The are in the exact same spot on either side. He says they do not hurt like a bruise would. They do not seem to be lightening or going away.

Hello,

According to your history, it may be an insect bite, called PAEDERUS DERMATITIS. MUPIROCIN ointment as a topical application and short term antibiotics orally will give better results.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
