you need to take the child to the doctor ...this is a possible sign of infection.....are there any bite marks (like a spider bite) at one end or the other...usually these will start at the point of injury and lead towards the heart

Watch for these signs:\n\ndifficulty breathing\nred streaks around the area you got stung\nswelling\nnausea / vomiting\nheadache\nintense itching or extreme pain or burning sensation that doesn't let up\n\nIf you are experiencing these, then go to the ER  right away. If it just hurts some and is a little red, try this:\n\nput ice on the area\n\ntake advil to reduce pain and inflammation\n\ntake benadryl to reduce itching and allergic reactions\n\nIf you see the stinger, carefully remove it with tweezers\n\nsome people will tell you to make a paste out of baking soda and water and place it on the area to "draw out" the poisen......it won't hurt you if you do this.\n\nGo to your doctor if it becomes very red, swollen, has pus or other drainage coming out of it, is warm to the touch, if you have a temp. over 100, or if it just doesn't heal.\n\nGood luck!

Three years age when I was working in Mexico, I was attack by africanized honey bees, I was stung over 1000 times.  I only remained concious for the first few minutes, but I remember it was excurciating, like a raging fire cooking you from the inside, I feel unconscious, luckily my crew was near by, and managed to slow the onslaught with a fire hose, got a fireblanket on me.  I was one life support for 4 weeks and comatose for 6 months.  I swole to 3 times my normal size and had bites everywhere, mostly arms, neck, face, back, but also had bites in the crack of my as*, and other nether regions.  My ears are still sensitive 3 years later.  The pictures were truly disgusting.  I would have to say that was the worst thing that has stung me.  When working in Africa I was bitten by a baby horned viper, right on my the meat of my thumb, that also hurt pretty good, swole up, turned blue/black, was tender for a while, made sick for a few days, but I don't know if it was the bite or the anti-venom that did that.  But it was a candle to a bon fire compared to the Bees.

I was at work...until the pre-school called to tell me I had to come and pick up my 4 year old, because she had been bitten by a spider. I think I broke every speed limit on my way there...\n\nBTW.....She will be OK....her whole arm is swollen and red, but the pediatrician says she'll be fine after her antibiotic kicks in.

You shouldn't worry about it.  The thing you have to mainly worry about in that game is getting out.  Not getting hit.  It only stings for about 5 seconds.  It's better to not worry about it and play then just to not play.

I really hope that you are not serious. Go back to the doc and have him place your son on a generic antibiotic much cheaper.

If the rash is changing then you really should go back to the doctor again.  I have no idea of what it might be...sorry

My daughter is exactly the same but she has been like right from the first time she was stung. The only way we know she's been stung is when we find bee stings stuck in her skin.\nShe & you are very lucky but don't get complacent because if you get stung too many times at once you could go into anaphylactic shock.

When my grandson was three, he went around rubbing on his ear and trying to dig in it.  No one really paid that much attention until the next morning when he woke up and was bleeding from his ear and stumbling all over.  They took him to the E R and come to find out while they were camping at the lake, apparently while he was sleeping, a fly had crawled down in his ear and had laid eggs and they had hatched. They sucked them all out at the E R  but it was terribly painful for him. I can't imagine what he went through.

I would take him back to the doctor.  I would think he needs to be re-evaluated.  Tell the doctor that you suspect it could be a yeast infection because he is itching.  Children can get yeast infections.  If it is, maybe they could prescribe some Nystatin. Also~ Don't forget to give him probiotics if it is yeast.  (Found at your local health food store)

i live in hawaii as well as i'm from florida where both places have so much staph. you only get staph from open sores that become infected, puss like stuff will be coming out and no it doesn't itch. hurts like hell all the way to the bone. i spent a week last year in the hospital due to staph which is not something to mess with. your child sounds as if they have a rash of some sort. go see a different doctor.

It sounds like a jumping spider. If it is a hairy matte black then Im sure it is. They are mostly harmless prefering to leave you alone and eat houseflys. They are not generaly agressive unless provoked.

How big are the rashes (dime sized? palm sized?)? How long have you had them? Are they symetrical? Have you been exposed to anything recently that may have caused them, such as poison ivy or poison oak? Have you bitten by anything recently? Need a LOT more information before anyone could begin to guess at what it may be.\n\nThere are hundreds of different types of rashes, and many have multiple causes, so without better info it is very difficult to think of what it might be. It can run the gamut from cancerous lesions to hives. Sorry can't be of more help.

Do you think it might be important to know where they are on your son?  How old your son is?  How they showed up?  Any other details about these bumps or any symptoms associated?  I left my crystal ball in my other sport coat.  Give details and I'll edit my answer later or tomorrow.\n\nIf there are many surface, possibly coalescing, "pus bumps" with a reddened base...this sounds like a contact dermatitis, like poison ivy or poison oak, but sometimes people can have strong reactions to other chemical agents etc...you didn't mention that there was itching, though.  You should use Domeboro solution - it is available at your local drug store.\n\nIf the pus bumps are associated with a hair follicle then this sounds like a folliculitis.  Essentially it is an infection of the hair shaft.  Oral or topical antibiotics are useful.  It is from the bacteria that is normally found on the skin.\n\nAlright that's the best I can guess given the information.  If it doesn't sound right, of course taking him into his pediatrician is a very good idea.  Good luck.
