What causes red itchy rash on the legs?
Patient: 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? Doctor: 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.
