Question : Hello doctor,

My son is 10 months old and he is having some small bubbles / boils on his legs. It is not a mosquito bite as far as I know. I have attached a photo for your reference. Please let us know if it is a matter to be worried about and see a doctor personally?

Thanks,
XXXX

Brief Answer:
Not a cause for concern

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I have gone carefully through your query and have checked the attached image. It does not look concerning. It could be some insect bite or a simple boil. Not anything to be anxious about. I do not suppose that you need to see a doctor at present.

You need to give some antiallergic like cetirizine once daily for the next few days. You may also apply some emollient like calamine lotion or moisturizer like aloe vera lotion.

I would wait for your response.

Regards
