What Could Small, Itchy, Hard, Red Bump On Back Of Arm Of A Child Mean?
My daughter (2.5 years old) has a small hard red lump or knot on the back of her arm. She brought it to my attention last night at bedtime and I looked at it and it had a very small spot in the center of the raised area that looked like a tiny scab/pimple. I don t think it s causing her much irritation other than being slightly itchy. There was no time yesterday that she complained of being bitten or stung by anything. I can t seem to figure out what it is or how to treat it?

PLZ GIVE UR CHILD SYRUP LORATIDINE 1TSF BD
CLEAN THE LESION WITH ANTISEPTIC.
IF THE LESION PERSISTS OR SHE DEVELOPS ADDITIONAL SYMPTOMS EG FEVER OR SHORTNESS OF BREATH.
THEN PLZ TAKE UR CHILD TO THE ER FOR FURTHER WORK UP.
THANX
