So these bumps looked like normal bites, there are 3-4 total and 2 now look like this about 4 days after they first appeared.
This is in conjunction with a pretty good cold...
Anyone seen this? Take him in? I already have a reg scheduled appt for next Monday.
He doesn't have a fever and is acting mostly normally.

hmmm no. my ped always wants to see them for rashes, but her rule of thumb is if it blanches (turns white when pressed or the skin is spread apart) it is generally nothing to be concerned about. But that does look like a bite of some kind....

My son just had 2 of these that look exactly like this. No other symptoms and was acting completely normal. I took him to our ped who had no idea what it was but wasn't concerned. She suggested a tiny amount of hydrocortisone cream. They cleared in about 2 weeks.

Use a pen and draw a circle around them so you can make sure they don't get redder

I'm with @T.H.O.U.: about drawing a circle around the edge of the red. Hopefully it's nothing!
