What Treatment Is Suggested For Hives Like Red Bumps On Face?
My 3 year old son started breaking out in hives over a week ago. Now he has some red bumps on his face that looks like little pimples. It started with just one but everyday gets a couple more. Two of them have even scabbed over. They don't bother him at all. I took him to the doctor and they said to treat it like i would a cold sore and they weren't sure what it was but they don't believe that the hives and bumps are related. He is continuously getting more everyday and nothing is helping. What should i do?

Hi
Welcome to the healthcaremagic
Clinically he looks to have staph/streptococcal infection.If small then mupirocin ointment only will do.But if spreading fast then add oral antibiotic. It will heal without big scar
Happy to help you
Best regards
