I noticed at bedtime that DS (5) suddenly has several big red spots, like large swollen mosquito bites, all around the top of his legs and his groin - 8 or 9 of them. There was also one on his ankle, though that was a bit less red and swollen so could possibly be something else, but none anywhere else. He didn't have them last night.
If they were somewhere else, I'd think they were mosquito bites that he'd reacted badly to - but that area has had clothes on the whole time, and none of his more exposed areas have the bumps (except the ankle one). There are 3 just around his perineum, so I don't see how it can have been a mosquito!
He seems well otherwise, and didn't seem too concerned about the spots - scratched a bit, but they didn't seem to be painful or massively itchy. I don't think he'd actually noticed them until I pointed them out.
Any ideas please?

What could this be? - big spots like bites but around groin?
