What Do Painful, Patchy, Bruise Like Rashes On Arm Of A Child Suggest?
Hi, my daughter is 6 years old and woke up this morning with a briuse like rash on the insde of hr right arm. She didnt bump it or have any marks before going to bed last night. She said it hurt, so we put an antihistimean cream on it but its not got any better, its kind of patchy and looks raised but its not. She has been saying that she doesnt feel weel. She felt hot earlier but not overly hot. Thanks Karen

Hi,
An itchy bruise noticed on getting up from the bed most likely suggests an insect bite reaction. Try giving an antihistamine (Levocetirizine 2.5mg at night) for 5 days. Apply calamine lotion over there. If not getting better in 2-3 days, kindly take her to doctor for further evaluation and management accordingly
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
