Brief Answer:
This is insect bite allergy or urticaria - Pediatrician
Detailed Answer:
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
I have seen the images you have provided. It seems to be an urticarial or a simple skin allergy. You can use Hydroxyzine at 1-2mg/kg/dose every 6th to 8th hourly for 7-10 days. This is a prescription drug, please talk to her pediatrician about the same.
Most important thing to be remembered is that it has a propensity to recur (called as second crop) within 10-14 days. If this happens, you can start using the same medicine but I suggest you get the kid evaluated with your paediatrician.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
