My son developed this strange rash sort of thing on his foot that ITCHED him SO SO bad. I took him to the Dr. because it looked infected to me. They told me it was mesquito bites. But I have never seen mesquitos do this type of damage to a child. This sort of looks like ringworm but it doesnt ever go in a circle. it starts itching, he scratches and the next thing you know he has these little squiggily lines coming from the bump he was scratching. The lines look almost like whelps and are hard to the touch. Then they turn into "blisters" sort of. Long story short.. the dr. gave him antibiotics becasue they agreed that it looked infected. Septra was the one they gave him. 2 weeks worth 2 teaspoons 2 times a day. He take all of this medicine and still it looks the same. He finished his meds and 2 days later he develops an extremly high fever. 104 degrees!!! I fought the fever for 2 days before taking him to the ER.
