Photos may be uploaded during a virtual consultation. Bruising may occur with local trauma. If there is a fever/ pus, an infection may require antibiotics. Allergic swelling may occur after an insect bite. Check his bedroom and bed linens for any insects. Discuss with your PCP, and a cool compress may provide relief. The Allergex will help to relieve an allergic reaction, and discuss w PCP.
