Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 18 year old son thought he had a bug bite on his calf. Then it got very red and the center was kind of hard.it has been a almost a week and the redness has gotten bigger and the center seems to be peeling skin in a circle.there is no pain or itching. But the redness is getting worse.
I believe the skin of the leg may be infected. Please send me a photo of the rash in reports or visit a dermatologist. I believe he needs to take antibiotics and corticosteroid ointment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
