How To Treat Small Bumps On Legs Which Is Spreading Around?

Hi dr,
My 21/2 yr old toddler is developing small bumps on her legs that seem to increase in number & size. They seem to flatten out & merge with each other. The bumps are red with an eye at the centre & flat at the periphery. Advice please. Thank you

Hi.... Many thanks for consulting in Health Care Magic. She probably has contracted hand foot mouth disease. I suggest you give her antiallergics to subside itching & paracetamol if there's fever. If not settling see your pediatrician as skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. Hope my answer was helpful for you. Happy to help anytime. Further clarifications and consultations on Health Care Magic are welcome.
