Baby is allergic to mosquito bites

Recently Baby Claire will get red raised bumps when she came back from outdoor activities.

Red raised bumps from mosquito bites

It started with a really really small red spot, and when we thought it will go away, it grew bigger and raised up with a bump. This happened to her arm. I suspected it was due to mosquito bites because I was bitten too, but her red spot would become something like in the 3rd picture below if not taken good care of will result in blisters, and definitely leave a scar. Baby Claire currently had a scar on her leg because of that. *sob sob*...

How do I know it is the same thing? Baby Claire had this on her leg and they had the same symptoms. After when it become a raised bump, we did not apply any form of medication *bad mummy, sob sob!*, and in the next hour, it resulted in blisters. And yes, we panicked and brought her see a family doctor. The doctor gave us a iodine which disinfected the wound. Doctor said that the wound will worsen if we apply any form of oilment on the blisters. Thus, we diligently applied the iodine on the blisters after she bathed in the morning and at night. Sadly, though the wound recovered. It has now left a scar on her leg. Not too sure it is because of the iodine?

Blisters formed from the mosquito bite

A pediatrician said that perhaps Baby Claire's skin is dry and we should try to apply moisturizer on her skin to improve her skin protection, and he gave us this bottle Cetaphil "Restoraderm". However, Claire started to grow heat rashes after applying it. Somehow, the California Baby "Calendula" cream seems to works better.

Symptoms:

• started with a small red spot, which later grows into big raised bump
• become blisters at the last stage

Advices

• Put on mosquito patches when going outdoor which are prone to bites
• Apply mopiko if bites occur
• Apply iodine if blisters occur but I'm not too sure whether it will result in scars
• Apply moisturizers to protect baby skins. Doc said bites on dry skins is worse due to the fact that the skin is weaker

I have yet to put her on mosquito patches for all outdoor. I should do it more often since her reaction to bites is so severe.
