Suggest Treatment For Red Bumps And Open Sores On Thighs
I noticed my 7 yr. old son has broken out with red bumps with open sores on his thighs, a few on his torso & a couple on his arms. He has no fever. They are itchy. My first thought was poison ivy but He has not been outside playing in the last 48 hrs.

Hi thank you for choosing healthcare magic. The red bumps may be a local bacterial infection which has spread, apply local antibiotic over the lesions and try to give oral antihistaminic to reduce the itching. If the lesions are increasing give oral antibiotic for which you have to consult your child specialist.
