My 10 yr old daughter went to sleep away camp. Came back with what looks like red bugs bites on her butt checks and lower butt (where the checks would hit the toilet seat). They are small and red. Some have white heads on them while others just look red. Tonight I noticed one that looks more like a boil with a raised red bump and a large white puss filled head. Help.!
Hi mam / sir...thanks for contacting us...from what you say, it looks like an insect bite reaction, with secondary bacterial infection. So she should do fine with a local antibiotic ointment like t-b act / mupirocin (local application) every 8 hrs for 5 days. Oral antibiotic with penicillin / Amoxicillin is needed if you hail from a place where acute post streptococcal glomerulonephritis is rampant....or else local antibiotics will suffice, if lesions are localized and not spreading regards, Chat Doctor.
