Hi my almost 2 year old has bites on her both legs. we have been treating it with bi cort and using calamine on it. but it's not healing. i thought it was mozzi bites but now i'm not sure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Time frame: Insect bites can take up to 7 days to fully heal and go away. If your child's bites are getting more red, swollen or have redness spreading outward, she may have cellulitis (skin infection) Talk to a Dr in person or via telemedicine to determine the best course of action. Your child may need antibiotics.
