My son gets bites that look worse 1-2 days after. I have been putting Lavender essential oil on it but if you don't have that I use hydrocortisone cream. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bites-rash-allergic-reaction#post-2758677 Sun, 16 Jul 2017 00:09:18 +0000 lamariniere 2758677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look like that when I get bit by mosquitoes, and they can swell and get even bigger. Ugh. I would definitely get something like what @StrawberryBee: suggested since they can become very itchy. Hope the swelling goes down soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bites-rash-allergic-reaction#post-2758581 Sat, 15 Jul 2017 08:01:05 +0000 travellingbee 2758581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Look like bites to me. My DS2 also reacts this way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bites-rash-allergic-reaction#post-2758574 Sat, 15 Jul 2017 06:44:32 +0000 StrawberryBee 2758574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mosquitoes bites blow up, often getting 1-2". Unfortunately it looks like my daughter (almost 4yo) is the same. I always found that this provided relief, and that scratching makes it worse:</p> <p><a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/Benadryl-Cooling-Anti-Itch-Gel-for-Kids-Travel-Size-3-Oz-tube/12167271?wmlspartner=wlpa&#038;selectedSellerId=0&#038;wl13=2236&#038;adid=22222222228001220173&#038;wl0=&#038;wl1=g&#038;wl2=m&#038;wl3=40754416352&#038;wl4=pla-78606749672&#038;wl5=9007386&#038;wl6=&#038;wl7=&#038;wl8=&#038;wl9=pla&#038;wl10=8175035&#038;wl11=local&#038;wl12=12167271&#038;wl13=2236&#038;veh=sem" rel="nofollow">https://www.walmart.com/ip/Benadryl-Cooling-Anti-Itch-Gel-for-Kids-Travel-Size-3-Oz-tube/12167271?wmlspartner=wlpa&#038;selectedSellerId=0&#038;wl13=2236&#038;adid=22222222228001220173&#038;wl0=&#038;wl1=g&#038;wl2=m&#038;wl3=40754416352&#038;wl4=pla-78606749672&#038;wl5=9007386&#038;wl6=&#038;wl7=&#038;wl8=&#038;wl9=pla&#038;wl10=8175035&#038;wl11=local&#038;wl12=12167271&#038;wl13=2236&#038;veh=sem</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bites-rash-allergic-reaction#post-2758544 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 20:55:29 +0000 Truth Bombs 2758544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, that exactly how I and both my kids react to mosquito bites and like @matador84: said they are some times worse a day or two after the bite happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bites-rash-allergic-reaction#post-2758524 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 19:21:22 +0000 matador84 2758524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hm...they look like bites to me. I know my kids usually swell more a day or two after being bitten. You could mark them with a sharpie to see if they get any bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bites-rash-allergic-reaction#post-2758523 Fri, 14 Jul 2017 19:13:38 +0000 autumnleaves 2758523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We noticed 3 red spots on DS2's back last night after he got home from daycare and thought maybe they were mosquito bites though our kids have never been bitten at school. Today daycare calls us worried about the marks. They've gotten bigger/more swollen. LO doesn't seem bothered by them but we gave him Benadryl tonight. Do you think these are bug bites or a rash or reaction of some kind? </p> [attach=5444/17/ot3vaq.450x600.IMG_3763.JPG] [attach=5444/17/ot3vas.600x450.IMG_3765.JPG]
