Hello, my son was outside playing in a pile of sand and got a dozen or more mesquite bites. The following day one of the bites on his ankle got really swollen and hard all around it. then the next day,(today) it has what looks like a boil full of fluid on it with some tiny bumps next to it. It is still hot to the touch. He now says it itches and hurts. What could this be?
Hello. I just read through your question. It is likely that one of the bites or more became infected. If the boil continues to grow in size, I recommend consulting with your doctor. If pus starts to leak out, I recommend keeping the area clean and applying an over the counter antibiotic ointment 3 times per day. If it continues to worsen, consult your doctor.
