What could a red raised line on a childs leg be,I don't think it is a ringworm maybe sandworm?

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

Could be chicken pox's but I've never heard of anything that comes and goes. Measles, mumps, German measles...it could be a number of things. Your best bet would be to call her pediatrician in the morning and set up an appointment ASAP. It could be serious.

You really need to see a Doctor. It could be a spider bite.\nIt the meantime if it's red and hot you can put a wet cloth\non it. You don't want to let something like that go.

A ringworm is a fungus infection. It is spread by direct or in-direct contract with infected preson or animal.

Yes I would go to the doctor and get something for them. It's just worms. Poor you!

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.

It has all the sounds of a problem with good blood circulation. Yes, you should be concerned about this.

Others seem to think it may be chicken pox.  That may indeed be the case.  In that instance, you may want to get her in to the pediatrician right away.  Sometimes, a call to the physician with a description of the symptoms may be enough to give you direction.\n\nIt also sounds as simple as heat rash, commonly known as "prickly heat."  (The latin term is miliaria rubra.)  You didn't indicate if the spots are raised or flat.  In prickly heat, her skin is reacting to a surface that it was exposed to, ie: her pillow, mattress, etc., and sweat has become trapped.  Although it generally appears on other parts of the body, it can appear on the face, depending upon where the exposure was.\n\nIf prickly heat is determined, then washing with a soft, clean washcloth, warm water, and a gentle soap is in order.  Certainly, a trip to her pediatrician should be next.  He may suggest nothing more strong than calamine lotion.\n\nI hope, for her sake, that it is something simple and not a more involved childhood illness.  In either event, quarantine her from the other family members, particularly if they are not innoculated or have not previously been exposed to chicken pox.

keep it clean and use an anti bacterial ointment applied lightly and if possible keep bandaged.  Watch for redness around the area and puss which could indicate infection.  Good luck

Thought it was caused by spider bites. Could be wrong tho, just ringing a bell for some reason

I have a friend who's a Pediatrician. My son was having something similar. It was a somewhat mild rash that'd go away after a few hrs but reappear in a diff. spot. She said this happens randomly & they dont really know why. Its a harmless rash, doesnt hurt the child, and there's nothing they can really do about it. I cant remember what she called it though.... Since I've been letting my son sleep in only his diapers & with the ceiling fan on, he hasnt been getting the rash so i'm thinking this was heat related. You might try this.... Good luck!

might not be dermatitis.  my sister was treating what she thought was dermatitis, and it was actually ringworm.  have you been diagnosed by your doctor with dermatitis?  might want to see him.  he can get you better medications.

could be athelete's foot, a fungal infection.  could just be dry skin.  you can pick up remedies for both at a drug 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 could be a weird rash, or poxs. but scabies is kinda like that(bugs that bury themselves in the skin..it is an STD but can get many other ways)\nGood luck, I would go to the doctor

Take your son back to the doctor. They will do a throat swab, blood test or urine test to narrow down the exact nature of the infection causing the swollen tonsils and lymph nodes. After that they can prescribe a more specific antibiotic for your son instead of the broad spectrum one they are probably using now. It is the cat that has ringworm, not your son, so that should have nothing to do with the problem. If your son does have ringworm it will be visible on his skin as small do-nut shaped circles with a red spot in center that expands outward as the circles get bigger. You can point these out to the doctor if he has any and ask his opinion. They can be treated with tinactin or similar products available at your drugstore. Ask the pharamcist.
