My two year old has a large red mark on her leg. It seems to have gotten slightly larger over two days. It looks raw, as if skin has peeled back. It has redness around it. It s not itchy and doesn t seem to bother her, but it looks quite painful to me. Any idea as to what this may be?

It is infection of the skin.treatment.local wound care with cleaning with antiseptic solution, then apply funding ointment twice daily. Start of augmenting syrup for infection for one week, of course some painkiller like paracetamol and Braden syrup. If become an access formation then sometimes need incision and Chat Doctor.
