How Can Arm, Ankle, Forehead And Buttock Cluster Lumps Be Treated?

I ve noticed a cluster of red bumps on my daughters arm the other day, and it is getting worse. She now has a couple on her ankle, one on her forehead and one right under her buttock. They look like they have a little pin point in the middle of them as well.

Hi...by what you quote... This seems like a hand foot mouth disease. It's a self limiting viral infection. Don't worry. At times it can be inrensely itchy.... Apart from that rarely it can cause skin peeling of fingers and toes around 4-6 weeks later. For itching you can use age appropriate antiallergics as you have not mentioned her age or weight.
