Hello!

What are the red marks on my daughter? – I know you all are not doctors or nurses but I really value other mothers input & hands on experience. My 15 month old has been bit twice by mozzies in last 6 months and reacted badly. Second time went to hospital to be told it’s an allergy.
Anyway, she woke up the other day and with a red welt on her face and arm, with what looked like a blister. Nothing like the previous mozzie bites. She is teething bad and I would say the cheek is from teeth but how to explain arm?

  • It sounds like an allergic reaction, get medical treatment.
    Teething makes it difficult to tell but because the welt is on the arm I wouldn’t be taking any chances, best of luck.


  • It could be an allergy or sensitivity too, it would also depend on where you live, here in the tropics we can get some nasty bugs and insects that can cause a horrible reaction in little people


  • I definitely would be seeking medical advice!!
