my 17 year old daughter has a red bump on her leg. It is hard, itchy and painful to touch. she had a similar bump last spring. She was put on antibiotics and we used a salt and hot water poltus to draw out the infection. At the time we thought it may have been caused by a spider bite but she really didn t remember being bit. This time she also cannot remember anything biting her. What could it be? Thank you, Sheila
