My eighteen month old has bumps in her legs and arms at first I thought they were mosquito bites but she seems to have more today and I think I see one or two come out of now where as the day goes on. None on her back or tummy I asked a pharmacist today , she said they look like bites not mosquito but something else. Could they be an allergic reaction she was in my bed and I use dryer sheets on my sheets not hers or could it be chicken pox she has had one vaccine against it.... She has a cough and stuffy nose ... I gave her 1/2 a teaspoon of little cough honey could it be a reaction to that
His they are only on arms and legs, It's very unlikely due to any infection such as chicken pox. In my opinion it seems to be due to bed bug or mosquito bite or an associated allergic reaction to it. Bedbugs are most active at night. They may bite any exposed areas of skin while an individual is sleeping. Common locations for bedbug bites are the face, neck, hands, and arms. A bedbug bite is painless and is generally not noticed. The bites may be mistaken for a rash of another cause. Small, flat, or raised bumps on the skin are the most common sign. Symptoms include redness, swelling, and itching. Typically, no treatment is required for bedbug bites. If itching is severe, steroid creams or oral antihistamines may be used for symptom relief.
