What Causes Small Scab With Red Ring After Getting An Insect Bite?
Hi my son is 2 and a half years old he got bitten by something like 4 or 5 days ago walking into the house not sure what kind of bug but it looked like a mosquito bite at first he kept messing with it and itching now it has a small scab and has a red ring around it? What could that mean? Also 5 days ago he woke up from a nap and had 3 bites behind his right ear and 1 on his left cheek then the next day he woke up and had 3 bites behinds the left ear and 2 on his left cheek and 2 on his neck on the back. We stripped his bed and cleaned his mattress . But he had no other bites anywhere else but from his neck and up. Until the bite on his rist that has a red ring around it? Please what could it be that s biting him?

What Causes Small Scab With Red Ring After Getting An Insect Bite?
Hi The clinical manifestation are suggestive of bed bug bites leading to allergic reaction and such skin lesions. I would recommend you to do pest control of bed bugs if present and change your child s sleeping area. Use antihistamine such as Chlorpheniramine or fexofenadine orally along with lactocalamine lotion application over lesions for relief. Hopefully this will help you. Take care
