Carter has what we thought was a burn mark from a hot slide, but the redness is starting to extend. we have been putting neosporin on it, but not getting better. ?

Seek urgent care: This could be an internal staph or strep infection which could become very serious if untreated. He probably needs internal antibiotics and it is important to start as soon as possible, so I advise going to an Emergency Room or Urgent Care Center. It may not be that serious but it may be so I would not take any chances.
