My 5 year old has like a boil on the back of her leg. almost looks like a pimple and red all around. she got it about 3 days ago, went away back now?

Please have it: checked by her doctor. It could be infected and may need an oral antibiotic. There also could be a cyst there which needs to be checked, as it may continue to be recurrent. Meanwhile apply warm compresses to the area several times/day.
