Hi. My daughter has a perfect swollen circle on her thigh. It is about 2 inches in diameter. I don t see anything resembling a bite in the middle? She was scratching it earlier today and then when I was helping her put her pj s on I saw it was a big perfectly round raised circle, slightly red in color. What could this be?
Hello. I just read through your question. This is either a reaction to something she came in contact with, or a skin infection. Infections are usually slightly painful when touched or pressed and require antibiotic treatment. Reactions usually resolve on their own. In either case, if the diameter of the circle increases, I recommend consulting with your doctor, so the correct diagnosis can be made and the appropriate treatment plan implemented.
