Daughter got this bite last night on her foot. When she first got bit it just looked like a mosquito bite (red and inflamed). Today it's still fairly red and has a head on it. It doesn't seem to hurt her... You can press on it and it doesn't seem to bother her.
Does this need a trip to the doctor?

I don't know what it is about the bugs this year but my daughter has had two like that. I've had three and my wife has had one. One of my daughter's ended up getting infected. Her's were both so bad that she went to the doc for them. Some kind of cortisone cream for the first and antibiotics for the second.
If that didn't look better by tomorrow I would consider going to a doc in the box. I don't think I'd bother with the ER unless it got worse. |

I get a similar hive type of rash on my hands from wearing work gloves in the summer months. Really anything that traps heat and sweat will makes my hands break out. I had to start wearing silk gloves under my motorcycle gloves they made me break out so bad.
After the blisters go away(not pop) my skin gets dry and peels(similar to a sunburn peeling). I'd say keep an eye on it, but not yet E.R. related. But I am no expert. |

How old is your daughter? Any weeping from the site? She will be 2 years in January. If by weeping you mean discharge, no My kid had some that looked exactly like that. The pediatrician said to put hydrocortisone cream on it and gave us a tube of topical antibiotic to put on it to minimize chance of infection. |
