What Could Red, Painful Spots On Lower Vertebrae In A Child Be?

My daughter is 4 and has developed 2 red spots directly on her lower vertebrae within the past couple hours. They are perfectly round and about the size of a dime. She says they hurt when I touch them. They are not raised, scabbed, or have fluid in them. We have not changed laundry soap, so I don t think it it an allergy. They are kind of blotchy in color.

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi..by what you quote they might be an insect bite allergy or an urticaria or skin allergy too. But one thing is, skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically. I am suggesting this because after seeing the images our team or me would be able to help and guide you appropriately.
