What Causes Red Swollen Spot On Leg?
I have my 2 1/2 year old grand daughter staying with us and she has a red spot on the upper back part of her leg that is red and swollen and tender. She was on antibiotics because of an ear infection. She has been off the antibiotics for about a 8 days. She had some other areas that looked the same, but were not as sore and seem to be better. I am not sure what to do. She seems to play and does not have a fever.
