What Causes Tender And Red Spot On The Leg?
I have a place on my leg that will not hear. I have seen 5 Dermatologist, 2 GP s had numerous biopsies and an ultrasound. No one has been able to tell me what is wrong. It will scab over and the erupt and drain. Area is tender, red and often flaky. I use lots of Lotion (currently Amlactin Cerapeutic), but skin is still dry and flaky. There are 2 other spots underneath the skin that bulge and are tender on the same leg. Have had open sore for3 + years.

Hi,
There could be many causes for itchy red bumps in children
It could be scabies, contact dermatitis, insect bite, seborrheic dermatitis, hives, milliaria etc.
I would like to know: Since how long are the lesions present
If the lesions are permanent or transient.
If the lesions are present in finger webs, near the umbilicus, abdomen also, If there is a history of nocturnal itch.
Similar lesions in a family member or a history of itch in the family. Any preceding drug intake or history of exposure to the field or any grass or plant.
If lesions are associated with mild scaling or dandruff scalp. Kindly upload the image of these lesions if possible as it makes diagnosing the condition easy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
