Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
How Can A Raised Itchy Lump Caused By A Bite Be Treated?
Returned home from Mallorca two weeks ago. My 6 year old has a bite that had just appeared, it is a perfect red circle with a raised itchy bump in the centre. Could this be a reaction to mosquito bite after two weeks? Or something else. Does not looked infected. I am a nurse.
Thanks for posting your query at HealthCareMagic. It could be a mosquito bite but unless a doctor can directly see for himself, it is hard for him to comment whether it is a tick bite or something else. If he does not have fever or associated symptoms you may sit back and watch if it goes away. If not, consult a paediatrician.
I hope that helps. Feel free to revert back in case of further queries.
