Suggest Treatment For Insect Bite Allergy With Eczema On The Body
Question: My son is 5 years old. When he was 2 years old I brought him to the doctor for mosquito bites. They would blister and form a little sore. The doctor said he was allergic to them. Gave us a hydrocortisone 2% creme. Now they immediately form a sore and it grows. I've been putting Bactroban on them using a waterproof band-aid. Is there anything more I can do?
Brief Answer:
Please upload one or two images of the skin lesions
Detailed Answer:
Hi.... by what you quotes I feel that your child is having an insect bite allergy along with eczema. I also suspect that he should be having dry skin too.
Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome.

first one is from Friday 24th and other is from today. looks like the Bactroban is working. please let me know. thanks
Brief Answer:
Bactroban is working for sure, but do not apply bandages
Detailed Answer:
Hi.... I agree with you that Bactroban is definitely working. But my only suggestion will be not to apply any bandage over the skin lesion as this will delay healing.
As I have suggested you in my previous interaction this looks like an insect bite allergy which has gotten aggravated with secondary bacterial infection due to scratching. He is also having a component of Eczema which is underlying and is adding for aggravation.
I wish your kid a speedy recovery. If you need any future medical consultation and suggestions, I will be glad to help. You can approach me at the following link.
