What Causes Growing Sore On Arms?
my 6 year old daughter had a sore appear 5 days ago on her arm that looked like a mosquito bite. however it started to get bigger. i showed a nurse who thought it was a spider bite so we covered it for a couple of days. i took off the dressing tonight and found it had tribpled in size and scabed, but smaller little blister like sores have appear around the original sight. A couple of them have oozed clear fluid from them. it has been suggested also it could be school sores but i have read that they have a yellow crust and that they ooze yellow fluid this is clear. can you help me.

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some local allergic reaction due to insect bite producing blisters and now oozing.
Clean local part with warm water and apply triple action cream for 2-3 days.
Oozing blisters will healed up.
If still infection persisted then she might require one course of anytibiotic medicine.
Give her Benadryl or cetrizine syrup for 2-3 days.
Ok and take care.
