What are the red marks on my daughter?

Hello!

What are the red marks on my daughter? – I know you all are not doctors or nurses but I really value other mothers input & hands on experience. My 15 month old has been bit twice by mozzies in last 6 months and reacted badly. Second time went to hospital to be told it’s an allergy.
Anyway, she woke up the other day and with a red welt on her face and arm, with what looked like a blister. Nothing like the previous mozzie bites. She is teething bad and I would say the cheek is from teeth but how to explain arm?

It sounds like an allergic reaction, get medical treatment.
Teething makes it difficult to tell but because the welt is on the arm I wouldn’t be taking any chances, best of luck.

It could be an allergy or sensitivity too, it would also depend on where you live, here in the tropics we can get some nasty bugs and insects that can cause a horrible reaction in little people

It sounds like a reaction to something. I would get it checked by a GP just to be on the safe side. I’m also allergic to mozzies 🙁

My nephew is allergic to mozzie bites and they come up as huge red welts wherever he gets bitten and can stay like that for days. I would definitely recommend aeroguard as opposed to off as it works a million times better (it just doesn’t smell as pretty)

Sounds like an allergic reaction, take her to GP and if necessary take her to a specialist for an allergy test to make sure.
