Hi my son has had what looks like insect bites come up on his skin. I first assumed this because of mosquitos coming out in my area. Then one small bump on his arm began to swell and become hard. It started using water today and then a large bump appeared on his cheek. His skin is very red and his cheek is very swollen. Not sure what this could be or what to do for it. I had been putting alcohol on the other bumps and then last night I started using cortisone cream. It doesn t seem to be working.
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. By what you quote it should be an urticaria or a simple skin allergy. You can use HY Chat Doctor.  Most important thing to be remembered is that it has a propensity to recur (called as second crop) within 10-14 days. If this happens, you can start using the same medicine, but I suggest you get the kid evaluated with your pediatrician. Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
