5 y/r old boy with red inflamed blotches like hives with a center on arms, legs & chest. Warm to touch possibly small bit of pus oozing. Not itchy but painful to touch. Looks like spider bites. Went to ER and was given benedryl & prednisone. So far, no change.
HI...sometimes the hives can take a longer time to resolve and not only this, it has a propensity to recur too after a week or two. I think he is having hives or urticaria, and you can wait for the response for a day or two. But if the kid is having black colored stools or pain the tummy or blood in the urine or motion or joint pains, I suggest you get back to your physician as we need to explore the possibility of vasculitis then.
