What Could Cause Tiny Red Spots On Inner Thighs Of A Child?

my 2 year old son has tiny red spots on his upper inner thighs. i noticed on only one leg and there were about 3 or 4 right around the same area. this morning i noticed they are disappearing but then noticed one on his other leg. only one red spot. doesn't seem to bother him. wondering if possibly could be bed bugs??

Hi,

Bed bugs marks are always with white center and usually buttocks and back side of thigh and back area are involved. Inner thigh doesn't look like bed bugs Mark. Mam stretch the skin around the rash, if after stretching it is disappearing than nothing to worry at all. If rashes stay you can use any anti-inflammatory ointment twice daily.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Zeeshan Sajjad
