Swollen hands: I am very fond of telling people that the main tool that a dermatologist has to use in his or her practice is their eyeballs! that means that you should have this problem looked at by dermatologist personally. It is very possible that your child had a bite of a different type of event mosquitoes but there are other causes of hands that swell. These could be toxic bug bites or contact allergy.

Common things common: Many kids will respond to various bug bites with localized swelling.Most it is a simple bump at the bite site, but in some, the body reacts by releasing chemicals that turn the capillaries into soaker hoses. They release serum that dilutes the toxins in any bite.A bite on the hand may swell to the elbow.A bite site should be evident. Your regular doc can separate this type of rxn from an infection.
