A member asked:
My son is 5 and he says he was bitten by a beetle, now both of his forearms have rashes on them, could it be from a bite?

Unusual, see Peds: It would be odd to have just both forearms involved in a rash from an insect bite, so is likely something else that caused that (like crawling around through something?). Cannot say over internet, needs exam by pediatrician to get good clinical impression and treatment plan.
