What Causes Rash Around Bites In Kids?

My daughter 5 years old had bites mostly on her legs and a few on her arm. This morning she woke up with a rash all over her legs and around the bites on her arm. Her twin who she shares a room with and older brother do not have any bites or rash. She had the bites starting about a week ago. Is the rash related or something else?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi

I understand your concerns but dont worry. It seems to be due to allergic response to insect bites. You may use antihistamine such as Chlorpheniramine or fexofenadine for relief. Ensure the beds are not infested by bed bugs or ants.

Take care
