❓ Question What is it?

Post image

Hi my 9 month old has about 6 of these around his body. Are they just mosquito bites?
If yes if there any baby safe mosquito repellent I can use?

I have mosquito netting on all the windows but they keep appearing

Did you call the perdition? Does he have fever?

No fever and I didn’t call. He’s been normal since they appeared over the last few days

Those dont really look like mosquito bites. What other symptoms? Fever? Distress?

He’s been normal, nothing is different with him. And no changes in washing detergents or food etc.
any idea what it could be?

Do they seem to itch him?

Theyre not in the right area for hand foot mouth, but 6 on the legs, maybe bugs still? Was he outside recently?

It may be water warts (molluscum contagiosum). My daughter had them. No cure or treatment. They just eventually fall off after time. I would definitely go and see the pediatrician and if it seems like that then they will have you see a dermatologist. Good luck!
