Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here...My daught is 8 years old and healthy, on the bottom of her leg (calf area) she has a bright red bumo, it is hard to the touch  about 2-3 inches in each direction very red and hot, and it has a small white head in the middle. it hurts her more then it itches right now. She has no fever and fells ok besides this bothering her. We live in the desert and its getting warm right now and do have many bugs out. She has had something like this 2 other times and it does go away but it always gets worse before it gets better. I dont know if its a bite or an infection. We are putting ice on it and doing Benadryl every few hours. She also has no fever and feels ok.
Hello, You need to take her to a doctor for an exam and possible antibiotics. This sounds like an abscess with surrounding infection. Please get her see by a doctor today so that this does not get worse. The size of this is very concerning for a spreading skin infection. Regards
