A week ago I saw what looked like a bad insect bite on my 5 year olds chest. Within 2-3 days it turned crusty and had lots of pus underneath. We got a cream from the pharmacist to help draw it out. It worked quickly, but took 4 days for the pus and blood to stop completely. On Saturday (so 5 days after the first) he came out with another one of these spots on the other side of his body! That one now looks badly infected. The old one is healing, but unfortunately he reacted to one of the plasters we put on and has an angry rash around it where the plaster stuck. Went to GP yesterday and got antibiotic cream, but that doesn't seem to stop the new spot getting worse.
My ds is happy and bouncy, the new infected spot hurts when touched just like the old one did, but otherwise no pain, no itching. GP was puzzled too and told us to come back for oral antibiotics if the cream doesn't work (which we ll do). Any ideas would be very welcome!
