Spotted this on 2 year olds leg today. Not sure where it's come from.
Been complaining it's sore but doesn't really seem that bothered by it (everything is sore at the moment - even weeks old grazes)
Just not sure where it's come from

Looks like a sting.

Yes. I would be inclined to put some anthisan or similar on it and draw round the red circle to make sure it doesn't get any bigger.

It looks sore!

Yes.

An insect bite, not a human bite!

What's the one with the bullseye rash you need to be careful of?

Lyme disease! Google says it doesn't look like that! (Sorry Blush)

My sons bites go like this, I use an antihistamine cream on them which stops the swelling and redness.
