What Causes Big Red Spot With White Head On Thigh?
My son is nearly two and he woke up really early this morning with an unusual moan, and I noticed he had developed quite a big red spot overnight, through out the day it has developed into quite a sore looking whitehead spot. Its on the outside of his thigh. He also has had a temperature all day accompanied with constant moaning. But he has still eaten and drank as normal.
Thank you for your contact. I understand your concern. He has painful furuncle. White spot is pus inside. It usually some kind of Strepto-,Staphylodermia. It causes by banal flora: Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus viridans,Str.epidermidis, Str.pyogenes and other. I suggest- 1.Apply iodine 3 times a day to affected area. 2.Then 1% Chloramphenicol thrice a day for 5 days, it will resolve or pus will come out. Kind regards Dr.Svetlana Shrivastva
